Early Findings
During this first hour of research, we were able to find and evaluate two online platforms showcasing indie events, shows, or performances in the Brooklyn/NYC area:
Oh My Rockness
and
Eventbrite
. Another interesting idea is to visit an
indie movie theater
. We've included details about the Metrograph and the IFC Center below.
Oh My Rockness
Oh My Rockness is an online platform
founded in 2004
that highlights indie rock concerts in NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
The platform features several upcoming performances at the
Avant Gardner
venue in Brooklyn that will include artists like Alison Wonderland, Zedd, and Matthew Dear.
Baby's All Right
is another Brooklyn venue that will be hosting performers like Blood Cultures, Suburban Living, and Lunar Vacation.
The
Bowery Ballroom
is a venue in Manhattan that will be hosting indie bands like They Might Be Giants, Yo La Tengo, and Kat Cunning. Although the name might indicate otherwise, it is a laid-back environment.
Eventbrite
Eventbrite is an
online platform
that organizes events across the US. It has a web page dedicated to
indie shows
in NYC.
One indie event on the platform is an upcoming rooftop show that we be held at
Our Wicked Lady
in Brooklyn on January 25, 2020.
Another event is an improv comedy show occurring on multiple dates that will be held at
the Creek and the Cave
in Queens.
The
Knitting Factory
in Brooklyn will host Indie Crush on December 13, 2019. This is an
indie-pop dance party
that will feature artists like Foster the People, the Gorillaz, and Vampire Weekend.

The Metrograph is a NYC indie movie theater located on the
Lower East Side
. In addition to
film showings
, it offers a
bookstore
, a
restaurant
, and a bar. It also hosts several ticketed
events
.
The IFC Center in
Greenwich Village
has been showing indie films since 2005. It offers various
