Regular readers of this blog and my concert have certainly noticed my musical preference for indie rock and pop. "Indie" denotes mind more a style of music than the original meaning of the word "independent", ie outside the mainstream. This is true even often agree, especially in the second half of the 00s-years, however, have plenty of indie artists celebrated remarkable commercial success and were noticed by the mainstream.
Meanwhile, in the music press everywhere proclaimed the end of the indie hype and kept constantly on the lookout for new musical trends (return of the 80s and 90s, Indie Tronic and much more). In fact, the number of new and remarkable album from indie bands lately unfortunately waned, established heroes of the scene are trying to develop (Franz Ferdinand, Editors), dissolve (The Rakes), running on the spot (Hot Hot Heat, The Futureheads) or irrelevant or poor (Kaiser Chiefs).
I even notice the change in my concert-goers habits. Since there is less to visit good Indie music concerts, one turns to other music ... and land increasingly at folk concerts. In fact, in my view, the current trend in the music scene. For several months, appears again and again suddenly a new and surprisingly good folk recording a newcomer band. Whether the Fleet Foxes, Mumford and Sons, The Leisure Society, Noah and the Whale, First Aid Kit, or others. At the same time bring more established Artists like Connor Oberst, Devendra Banhart or Adam Green albums out or create more sensational folky singer-songwriters such as Frank Turner, Matthew Scott breakthrough. Unlike the indie-hype is not the folk wave limitable also geographically, the bands come from both Europe and North America, but all draw on the musical legacy of the 60s and 70s back without this sounds stale.
All this, although not really what the dance floor, but the music is a warm feeling. In addition, the concerts are always held in a very nice pleasant atmosphere, you realize the most visitors the enthusiasm for music. Still, to some new good indie hits I would not mind!
