Modern music has a long history on Long Island. Many famous artists have their roots on Long Island including Mariah Carey and Billy Joe. Many churches and synagogues, as well as VFW Halls and community centers constantly house underground shows, affording cheap entertainment and an underlying sense of "scene community". Ska and pop punk bands also have an impressive following, with bands like Patent Pending, High School Football Heroes, the long-since disbanded Edna's Goldfish, and Arrogant Sons of Bitches topping the list of crowd pleasers. It is a self-serving "business", so to speak, and most bands are known on the island spill over into the northeast regions such as New Jersey and Connecticut. Many restaurants and other venues offer live music. The flourishing wedding business has ample resources to draw on for entertainment including DJ’s, live bands and orchestras.
