Broad Ripple Village Taxi It’s one of the biggest party nights of the year as many head out to their favorite bars, clubs or friends’ houses for a night of fun to say goodbye to the year that was and welcome what’s to come. And though we encourage you all to go out and have a good time, there is one thing we here at IndyConcerts.com stress above all else for this night: If you’re going to drink,... 

The Lawn at White River State Park is home to some of the biggest shows in the area.  Even last year, artists from The Black Keys to Wiz Khalifa to Florence + the Machine and more made their way to White River State Park to perform.  Though if you’ve ever been there before, you might have asked yourself this: If only there was a way I could catch every show that comes here. Well now there... 

The Super Bowl just a little over two months away, and as the countdown to February 5 draws nearer, many questions are being asked: Who will be playing?  Is Indianapolis ready for the spotlight?  Who will be performing during halftime?

Regardless, I was determined to listen to Late Nite Reading’s latest, the Dedicated to Deadlines EP, and give it an unbiased and fair review.  Now that my intentions have been made public, the EP offered no... 

Going Independent a Dangerous Game? By: Crystal Tieszen   Musicians have always had one goal in mind that is to get their music to reach as many people as possible. For years the goal has been to record, produce and market themselves to get noticed by a record label. With the direction in which music sales have traveled lately, record labels have become less important. Social networking and learning... 

Okay, so the follow-up to Brand New Eyes won’t be out until sometime next year. The good news?  They’re not totally depriving fans of new music. In making good on their promise to release new music in 2011, Paramore has delivered the goods.  Yesterday, the Tennessee rock trio debuted “Hello Cold World,” the latest entry in their Singles Club.  The song follows last... 

For the past two decades, Verizon Wireless Music Center (formerly known as Deer Creek Music Center) has been a summer concert hotspot, welcoming over 500,000 concertgoers annually and bringing some of the music industry’s biggest artists to Noblesville.

Last month, the guys in R.E.M. decided to call it a day after an amazing 30+ year career. But before they disbanded, they left us with one last parting gift.
