Music Scene in Kalamazoo

"Kalamazoo has some of the best music in Michigan"

A Reddit user asks:

So I may be attending kzoo college next fall. I was wondering what the music culture is like on campus and around the city. Is it common/popular to form bands? Are there cool venues where bands play regularly (besides bars maybe)? Just trying to get a better vibe for the area and such. Thanks! - Sockly

Is Kalamazoo is the perfect place for music lovers?

Are there any other bands or venues that aren't listed?  Comment below
