Abstract

This research project attempts to understand the complex information interactions between musicians, promoters, and audience members who perform/promote/transform residential basements into underground music venues. The goals of this project are (1) to obtain an understanding of the informationseeking practices that enable social actors to participate in an underground music scene, (2) to identify and discover the presence or absence of information-communication technologies (ICTs) within the communication network, and (3) to analyze the underground music venues as artifacts situated within a punk-rock subculture.
