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

Bad Religion Talk Biggest Influences + Past Projects (Part 2 of 2)
He continues: "We have also decided in celebration of the 40-year anniversary and re-release of 'Mommy's Little Monster' that we will be playing the album in its entirety. This should be a very special tour and we are all looking forward to it.""BAD RELIGION and SOCIAL DISTORTION first played together in 1980," BAD RELIGION singer Greg Graffin adds. "Though we evolved in different directions, we both carried the torch of Southern California punk all along the way. Now we're so excited to be on the same stage again."
Formed as rebellious teenage punks in the working-class suburb of Fullerton, California, SOCIAL DISTORTION survived their tumultuous youth to pioneer an undeniably honest and fiery brand of rock ‘n’ roll that would incorporate outlaw country, classic seventies punk and primal blues. Seven studio albums and countless electrifying live shows have earned the band a dedicated worldwide fanbase and catalog of timeless anthems, including "Story Of My Life", "Ball And Chain", "Prison Bound" and more. The band's last release, "Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes", entered the Billboard 200 at No. 4 and in 2019 they celebrated 40 years as a band.
- Cruel World 2024Brookside Golf Course, Pasadena, CA
Hi! Cruel World 2024 has a really great list of bands this year! I can't wait to see Ministry play songs from the albums With Sympathy and Twitch even though they may totally butcher those songs, lol.
For Cruel World's website and complete band listing, click here.If you want to meet up, we may have to meet up before the show since it's really hard to meet once we're there with the crowds and different bands with want to see playing at overlapping times.
Last year, we had brunch in Pasadena before we got to the event. We can do the same this year if there's enough interest.
BTW, if you were into these bands while you were in your youth, and when these bands were still new or new-ish, post some retro pics here in this event's album. They are a piece of history!
