Indie rock

A community portal about Indie rock with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that primarily exists in the independent underground music scene. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with underground music as a whole, though more specifically implies that the music meets the criterion of being rock, as opposed to indie pop or other possible match-ups. These criteria vary from an emphasis on rock instrumentation to more abstract rockist constructions of authenticity. It is however not uncommon to see a variety of instruments that are rarely used in other rock genres, such as the violin.

[Music] The Silversun Pickups

Written by

From: sorry.google.com

Normally, Philippine media is pretty good at playing the local version of Where's Waldo when it comes to international news. In any given high-tension international conflict or major entertainment event, someone is out there bound to be determining if there are any Filipinos involved. You have to admit, we've become a rather global people, albeit not necessarily in the front lines most of the time. We're subtle that way - more behind-the-scenes in that respect, I suppose. As much as I pride myself in generally keeping abreast of entertainment news relevant to me like new bands of interest, it kind of irks me to ... Read Full Story

Post Listening Party: Black Mountain & Vampire Weekend

Last night, the K&M Bar in Williamsburg held an ultra-hip, rock and roll special spectacle devoted to some pre-release tasty tunes from 2 of the most anticipated releases from early 2008. Other Music sponsored the event and immediately caught my attention with a promise of $2.00 Amber Bock drafts, oh and a full spin of Vampire Weekend ’s debut and Black Mountain’s new disc, In the Future . The scene felt a little flat, there didn’t seem to be much buzz about the evening, but if there’s one thing New Yorkers do well, its disguise giddiness with ample amounts of alcohol. Long story short, ... Read Full Story

ROCK OF AUDIO INUNDASIAN: My Bloody Valentine

As many of you know, Jen's having a great week. Her Red Sox clinched the series over the Angels to make the semi-finals (or whatever you call them...? I have no idea what I'm talking about in baseball-speak)--and just one week ago, she was inches away from the grass watching them win the first game of that beautiful winning series. I wasn't with her that night. Instead, I was trucking my junk over to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, an oldie-but-goodie LA venue better known for punk rock shows in the 80s than shoegaze reunions, to see My Bloody Valentine. Many of the friends ... Read Full Story

ROCK OF ASIAN: Black Kids in Los Angeles

From: disgrasian.blogspot.com

Last night, we caught the Black Kids show at the El Rey. There were a surprising number of geezers in the audience (we count ourselves among them). Which is funny, because what we love about Black Kids is how young they are--young, fun, and unjaded. They were stoked to be playing a packed house in L.A. They don't even have their stage banter down yet, unless you count Reggie Youngblood using "fuckin'" and "motherfuckers" a lot. Sometimes Reggie sang off-key. Their set was short, because as Reggie put it, they've only got "like, seven songs." But they're still fuckin' entertaining, and when they pulled ... Read Full Story
