Looking for alternative activities for Memorial Day weekend besides heading to the race?  Look no further because Slothpop, Union Tree, and Humdrum are performing on Saturday, May 28th at Radio Radio. Slothpop, according to their Facebook page, is ethereal music with a mix of Indie Rock and Electronica. Union Tree Review and Humdrum both hail from St. Louis Missouri.  Union Tree Review describes... 

For singer/songwriter Ted Leo, he’s no stranger to change in an over 20 year career. Be it his participation in many acts, record label changes, lineup changes, or even changes in his musical style (ranging from punk to traditional rock to hardcore and even indie).  Yet despite all of this, a few things do remain constant: his love of music, his political beliefs, a constant touring schedule,... 

I know it’s short notice, but what else are you going to do on a cold Thursday night? This promises to be a great show by a great up-and-coming local artist. Oreo Jones caused a splash on the web (and was voted NUVO’s 2nd best hip hop act in Indy) with his first EP, Delicious, last spring. His follow-up, the Oreo Jones and Friends EP, is being released with considerably more fanfare,... 

Here We Go Magic and White Rabbits will be teaming up for a spring tour and will be making stop here in Indy on April 26 at Radio Radio. This spring tour will be a nice warm up for both groups, afterward they will go on separate touring stints with some Indie heavyweights. Here We Go Magic will be opening for the New Pornographers for month of May and will also be making an appearance at the Pitchfork... 

Joanna Newsom’s tour for her recently released triple album “Have One on Me” just got a lot more interesting. Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold will be opening for the talented folk star on six of her dates. March 31st in Bloomington at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre just happens to be one of those six. Pecknold’s talents, much like Newsom, are endless. Fronting what is quite... 

One of Indie Rock’s best new bands will be venturing down to Bloomington on March 23. Real Estate will be playing The Bishop with label mates Woods on what will be a pretty amazing double bill. Ticket information can be found here. If you have not heard of Real Estate, I strongly urge you to check out the New Jersey quartet.  They released their awe inspiring self titled debut late last year and... 

It’s been a while since we heard anything from terrific experimental band Yeasayer, but they have returned with their sophomore effort, “Odd Blood”. The follow up to their outstanding debut “All Hour Cymbals” is much more poppy than the former and is step down for the Brooklyn group. Upon first listen, I had to remind myself that this is the same group that gave me such great tracks such... 

Ok let’s face it “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” by Phoenix was hands down the best album released last year. Followed closely by “Veckatimest” by Grizzly Bear, and though that has no relevance to this story I plug the mighty Grizzly Bear every chance I get but I digress. So what better way to spend your free time between Coachella and Bonnaroo than to tour the US. Unfortunately I have to report... 

It’s getting that time of the year when a slew of festivals are releasing their lineups which will be received with excitement or utter disappointment. We all know festivals like Bonnaroo (decent lineup this year) and Coachella (very good lineup this year), but I would like to give you an early update on what is a truly a festival to get excited about. Pitchfork.com is a daily visit for me, so why... 

Hello Indianapolis, I’m Laura, a new staff writer for Indyconcerts.com.  Although I could divulge my deepest secrets and life long goals in this article, I guess I’ll keep this introduction short and sweet so there is something to look forward to in the future.  “Always keep them wanting more,” right?  I recently graduated from DePauw University and although PR/marketing...
