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

See all- EMF / SpacehogRegent Theater, Los Angeles, CA
If you were around in the early '90s, you may have liked EMF's song "You're Unbelievable". That was a lifetime ago, but I used to be a big fan of theirs when I was 15. My friend and I paid $70 via a ticket agency for pit tickets at the Universal Amphitheater. Carter USM opened up for them. It was such a fun show. Luckily this time around, tickets are only $48 each! Their album "Schubert Dip" has a bunch of catchy, dance-y tunes. They are co-headlining with a band called Spacehog. I don't know much about them, but I looked them up and remember hearing their '90s hit "In the Meantime" on the radio and on Sirius FM's Lithium station.
EMF are an English alternative rock band from Cinderford, Gloucestershire, who came to prominence at the beginning of the 1990s. During their initial eight-year run, from 1989 to 1997, the band released three studio albums before a hiatus. Their first single, "Unbelievable", reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart,[1] and was a number 1 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their debut album, Schubert Dip, went to number 3 on the UK Albums Chart.[1] In April 2022, EMF released their first album of new material in 27 years, Go Go Sapiens.
Spacehog is an alternative rock band formed in 1994 in New York City by four British men who were living in the city. Their music is heavily influenced by David Bowie, Queen, and T. Rex. The band's best-known single is "In the Meantime".[1]

90s Riot Grrl music at its best!
From Wikipedia: Bratmobile is an American punk band from Olympia, Washington, formed in 1991. They are known for being one of the first-generation "riot grrrl" bands. The band was influenced by several eclectic musical styles, including elements of pop, surf, and garage rock.A great album of theirs: "Pottymouth"
- FREE SHOW: English Beat / Naked Eyes / Missing Persons / and morePershing Square, Los Angeles, CA
For those who like ska and '80s music, come out to this free show during the free Pershing Square summer series of concerts. The English Beat, Naked Eyes, Missing Persons, and Men Without Hats are playing. Starship is headlining. I thought they were a '60s band? Anyway, I'm sure this would be a fun show. I most likely won't be able to make it, but if anyone would like to host it, please contact me asap. Or if you're planning to go and want to meet others, you can post on this webpage. If you get a ticket and get there at a decent time, I'm sure you'll be able to get in. If you want to pay $23 and stay in the pit, you can do so as well.
