Say what you will about the music scene in Eugene, but one thing is for certain: In terms of electronic music, Eugene plays host to some of the most innovative musicians around. Electronic music is alive and well in Eugene. Forget your classic understanding of electronic dance music because Eugene has given electronica its own quirky interpretation.
With the countless bars in Eugene, there’s always a local group putting on small, but highly entertaining shows. If you’re under 21, well, the local scene may be a bit inaccessible at times, but there will be opportunities to get your groove on regardless.
Give the following list of local artists a look over and keep your eyes out for upcoming events this fall.
