WikiSCUM is a project to develop a Web-based encyclopedia of historic and contemporary underground music in Santa Cruz County, California.
Santa Cruz County has 28 years of punk history to its name. i've been doing my best to compile that history - but there's no way i can do it alone. so i've created a site that allows anyone to add information they know. It is called WikiSCUM. Wiki is the name of the software; SCUM stand for Santa Cruz Underground Music. check it out: scum.wikicities.com
once you get a hang of it, it is really quite simple. It is interactive; it is collaborative; it is dedicated to documenting the history and currency of the underground music scene in Santa Cruz County.
i welcome you to add all the info you know - even if it brief, even if it is current. that which is current will be history tomorrow.

Re: History of underground music in Santa Cruz County
I was on the SCUM email list once and was invited to a lot of great shows that i would not have known about otherwise.
scum.wikicities.com is fantastic and it is great to see that it is already getting so much use. Free Open Source Software is the way to go! This is very much in the DIY ethic of Santa Cruz Underground Music.
I see that the first year for music is 1977
scum.wikicities.com/wiki/1977_shows
Is it possible that there were punk shows in Santa Cruz before this time? What was it about the year 1977 that got the punk scene going in Santa Cruz?
This is such a fantastic project.
Long live DIY art in Santa Cruz.
Re: History of underground music in Santa Cruz County
I'm glad you're excited about the site. Open sources is definitely a kick-ass way to get things done. And Wiki fits completely into the ethics of collaboration and consensus.
In regards to 1977, I've been pouring through Good Times microfilms at the SC Public Library - and the first mention of anything punk were the Tubes show and then JJ180. If anyone knows of anything earlier, I'd love to know about it. I didn't move here until 1993.
Over the next week I'll be going through more microfilms to fill out events and bands from the 1980s.
Happy editing,
Oliver
