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

Slow Crushcheck out Slow Crush live!
Slow Crush is a compelling abrasive shoegaze band, dealing with the aesthetics of contrasting sounds. Heavy like a gloomy dream yet soothingly vibrant, the vulnerable soft floating voice of Manchester’s Isa Holliday is layered underneath grungy shoegaze-soaked noisepop, seeking shelter from a messed-up world.
Amenra
Amenra live
The band’s unique musical style, characterized by brooding atmospheres and spiritual intensity, is rooted in doom metal, hardcore punk, and post-rock. Their live performances, accompanied by visual art, have been described as “entrancing communions.”Primitive Man
Primitive Man live
Primitive Man is a doom metal band from Denver, Colorado. They are known for an extremely harsh sound, combining funeral doom, noise music, and black metal elements, along with a blunt nihilistic outlook.______________________________________
Tickets - 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!
