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://4142298.xyz/indiemusic-130/polls/

Lisa, Organizer

Upcoming events (4+)

Come out and see Ride, a quintessential shoegaze band who is still making awesome music today! We can meet up before the show for dinner and drinks if anyone would like to find a Happy Hour nearby. Location within walking distance TBD.
Their classic shoegaze song from the early '90s: Vapour Trail
Another fave: "Like a Daydream"Ride are an English rock band formed in Oxford in 1988. The band consists of vocalists and guitarists Andy Bell and Mark Gardener, drummer Laurence "Loz" Colbert and bassist Steve Queralt. They have been recognised as one of the key pioneers of shoegaze, an alternative rock subgenre that emerged to prominence in the United Kingdom during the early 1990s.
The band's first two albums, Nowhere (1990) and Going Blank Again (1992), have been critically acclaimed as two of the greatest shoegaze albums of all time.[2][3][4][5] The latter's lead single, "Leave Them All Behind", was the band's most commercially successful song, reaching No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart. Both Going Blank Again and its 1994 follow-up, Carnival of Light, peaked at No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart.
Ride broke up in 1996 prior to the release of their fourth album Tarantula, which received negative reviews. Bell joined Oasis in 1999 as their bassist. The band reunited in 2014 to tour again, and also put out the albums Weather Diaries (2017), This Is Not a Safe Place (2019) and Interplay (2024).
