Definition: Indie music is guitar-oriented music which drifts away from many commercial conventions.
My love for all things indie started in my childhood listening to hours of music during long boring car journeys. Ever since these car rides, I have continued to find new artists and explore music further, learning, listening and more. Music has always been a big part of my life whether it was attending small concerts in my local town with my parents or sitting behind the bar in my dad's pub listening to the music playing over the deafening speakers as I waited for my dad to finish up work so we could finally get out of there. Indie music first entered my life when I heard the slightly popular 'Mr. Brightside' for the very first time, at the time I did not understand what this song could be the beginning of for me but here we are starting a blog all about my love for concerts and everything indie.

One of my first true experiences of the indie music scene was at my town's local music festival The Neighbourhood Weekender. Watching artists like The Wombats, Jamie Webster, The Kooks and many more, this was only a few years ago but I have experienced way more than this since then. I go to as many concerts as my bank account allows for no matter how big or small. I am looking forward to upcoming events I am going to, fighting in those Ticketmaster queues are not for the weak so I hope they are worth the effort. If you like concerts or you like indie music, why not keep an eye on my blog? You never know you could discover your new favourite artist right here.
...I promise my posts will be more interesting than this and full of my views and experiences at all the concerts I am yet to attend.
Let us see where this music journey takes us!
Is your lifestyle indie?
