100+ bands you've never heard of play SXSW or ACL every year and costs several hundred dollars to attend. 80% of those same bands are playing no-cover venues in Austin the rest of the year. Something something live music event etc...

According to Wikipedia it's Pasadena, California.
Sure, the Van Halen brothers were born in Nijmegen but it seems they are more American than Netherlander or Dutch.

Excerpt:
The Van Halen brothers' father, Jan, was a freelance saxophone and clarinet player who performed styles ranging from big band to classical in the Netherlands. The family moved to Pasadena, California in 1967, "with 15 dollars and a piano," as Eddie once said. Jan washed dishes, then played in wedding bands to support the family. Beginning around age six both Eddie and Alex received piano lessons and extensive classical music training, but with move to America they discovered rock & roll.
