ALT-INDIE ROCK
Artistic expression manifests in myriad forms. Music, in particular, is an amorphous beast at best—ranging from shuddering dub-step bass drops, to stripped-down acoustic folk numbers—variety is inherently enmeshed within the medium. With a surplus of musical diversity comes an equally ravenous following of enthusiasts. While some may confine themselves to one genre, there are the pioneers out there—those who thrive in the poly-rhythmic chaos of aural variety.
For those desirous of venues with a multiplicity of musical options, look no further: here are 5 spots that range the spectrum—providing the panacean sounds of your choice!
If you don't know Mission of Burma, then you're also unaware of the huge influence they've had on music today. Without the Mission turning rock on its head in the early eighties with a raw, complex, innovative post-punk style, the alt-indie scene that's buzzing from New York to L.A. today would have never come this far. Luckily, last Thursday night I got to witness the historical Mission live at the First Unitarian Church.
