Chicago Indie Rock Fans
|
Are you a Chicago-area fan of indie, underground rock, imports, and other "non-major label" music? We'll be meeting up to see shows by interesting bands at smaller venues like the Vic, the Riv, Metro, the Empty Bottle, etc. Members can suggest bands they've heard, heard about, or even just heard of. The plan is to have some fun listening to indie rock, discover stuff we may not have heard before, and meet some new people.

Our next meeting:
Snowden/Colour Revolt @ Subterranean
Georgia's Snowden is described by Oh My Rockness as a cross between Interpol and Nada Surf. As some of you may know, I'm a rabid Interpol fan (although I'm not in love with their last album). But this isn't about Interpol, is it? It is not. It is about Snowden, and I think they will put on a good show. They're somewhat atmospheric, somewhat moody, somewhat synth-y, and that is what I dig. So come on out! Read more
