Coral Gables music scene...

…does it exist? I’m talking local music; opportunities for bands, performers, etc. I’ve played in various bands throughout high school (and had the opportunity to gig all over and around the small-town area I live in) and I’d really like to continue that in college. The other schools I’m considering (IU, UMich) are your quintessential college towns, with no shortage of coffee shops and clubs that provide opportunities for emerging local bands; in fact, I’d say Bloomington and Ann Arbor are among the most well-known college towns with regard to the local music scene.

UMiami, of course, was quite different from these two places. I got a different vibe entirely from Coral Gables, as it seems to be a very, very affluent place (which to be honest turned me off quite a bit despite how much I loved the campus) that does not have a traditional college town feel to it. Does anyone have any experience with this matter?
