What we’re about
This meetup is for all who enjoy the indie genre of music and other genres that influence this diverse category of music! Check out our past and current events to get an idea of what kind of music we listen to!
Would you like someone to go with to see a band that you love but your friends don't? Or do you already have at least one friend to go to a show with but wouldn't mind meeting others who share your taste in music? No problem!
All you need to do is e-mail one of us with the show you want to go to, and we will make you an Assistant Organizer for that show! The more active Assistant Organizers we have, the more diverse and interesting our list of hosted shows will be! We also welcome gigs of local indie bands if they've got catchy tunes!
We mostly go to venues with general admission, so that we can meet up and hang out before and/or during the show. Note: on rare occasions, some shows will be" no-host meetups" and some will be "announcement only", unless someone wants to step in and host it.
There are also occasional meet-and-greets or indie club nights where we can meet up and talk about bands and music without attending an official concert.
If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to e-mail us!
Lastly, since you're here and reading this, please fill out this music poll, just for kicks and to see what others on listen to: https://www.meetup.com/indiemusic-130/polls/
Cheers,
Lisa, Organizer
Jennifer, Co-Organizer

Camera Obscura are a Scottish indie pop band from Glasgow. The group formed in 1996, and have released five studio albums to date – the most recent of which, Desire Lines, was released in 2013. A sixth, titled Look to the East, Look to the West, is set for release in May 2024.
The band's music has been frequently described as "twee pop," and garnered comparisons to fellow Scottish band Belle and Sebastian. If you like Alvvays you would like Camera Obscura.

- DIIVThe Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA
DIIV will be releasing their fourth album, titled Frog in Boiling Water on May 24, 2024. Their sound has incorporated British guitar pop, the minimalist structures and Motorik rhythms of German psychedelia, metal's lush fury, and the sonic immersion of shoegaze.
After a few years playing guitar with the psych-rock band Soft Black and playing drums for Beach Fossils, Smith formed DIIV in 2011 as a forum for his own songs, incorporating aspects of Krautrock, C-86, and Malian guitarists along with more expected forebears like My Bloody Valentine and Nirvana.
