We love our live music here at Indy Rock Live, but occasionally we need a recharge. That’s what we’ve been doing this winter — conserving energy so we can be fully immersed as the concert calendar comes roaring back.
I’m nearly 41 now. I have kids, and they have activities. I get tired. To that end, though I still love hitting live shows, the focus of this site will shift slightly toward new, under-the-radar music. If I saw your band the last time you came through 12 months ago, I’m probably going to skip your show this time. But if you’ve never been to Indy (attention PHOX), you haven’t been here in several years (heads up New Pornographers), or you’re a legacy band I last saw in 1989 (rumored Rolling Stones), count me in.
And if you’re in a band inspired by Big Star, Cheap Trick, The Raspberries, The Posies, Jellyfish, and so on — send me your stuff. I’ll gladly talk it up. The world needs more power in its pop.
See you out there, Indy (hopefully at the Marshall Crenshaw show at The Hi-Fi this Saturday).
