All rocked up & no place to go: ABOVE: Holding makeshift instruments in a makeshift venue, the metal band Bloodline is one of many in the area that have difficulty in finding suitable venues to perform, especially in their roles as promoters of national acts that come to their area. They say that there is a huge crowd in the area thirsty for their brand of music, but without a place to play the scene suffers. "The scene is not dead, it's just underground and we want to bring above ground," Davidson Steele, the bands drummer said. Also in Bloodline is Loren Anthony on vocals and bass while his brother Lelend plays guitar. You can catch them with a slew of other metal acts, including the international metal band Hemlock, at Wowie's Gym on Saturday at 6 pm.
