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/

See all- Miki Berenyi (from Lush) Trio / Lol & BudgieThe Fonda Theatre, Los Angeles, CA
## Details
For classic shoegaze and Lush fans, you can't miss this show! This is a Wednesday night show. Miki will be singing and playing a lot of Lush songs among songs from her other band Piroshka.
The Miki Berenyi Trio, the group led by the former Lush singer/guitarist that also includes KJ McKillop of Moose and Mick Conroy of Modern English (who both also played with Miki in Piroshka) have announced their first US tour. They’ll be joined by Lol Tolhurst (ex-The Cure) and Budgie (ex-Siouxsie & The Banshees) who put out a great record last year with Jacknife Lee.
Miki Berenyi began her career as a recording artist in 1989, as co-founder of the band Lush, releasing a series of EPs (Scar, Mad Love and Black Spring compiled as Gala) and LPs (Spooky, Split and Lovelife) on the iconic 4AD label. The band toured extensively, many times in the US — with Ride, Babes in Toyland, Jane's Addiction, Flaming Lips, Weezer and, most notably, as openers on the 1992 Lollapalooza tour.
Lush split in 1996, and Miki retired from music, but a 2015-16 Lush reunion tour, which included a Coachella date and release of an EP Blond Spot, revived her enthusiasm and she formed Piroshka, who released two albums on Bella Union: Brickbat (2019) and Love Drips and Gathers (2021).
When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed, with her partner Kevin 'Moose' McKillop on guitar and Oliver Cherer on bass (both had played in Piroshka).
The band has developed a momentum of its own and they are now writing new songs, inserted into the set of Lush and Piroshka tracks as they continue to fulfil live bookings, with a plan to record and release an album in 2024. For the US dates, they will be joined by Michael Conroy — also a founder member of Piroshka and Modern English.
