where can i find some underground stuff?
 

hi im into bands such as interpol. bloc party. death cab for cutie. etc...
but i have been trying to listen to more underground bands.
it is really hard to afford tickets for all the concerts that i want to go to.
does anybody know a specific website or place in los angeles where i can find some good bands? i would appreciate your help.:)

this forum?

sorry - do you mean that interpol. bloc party. death cab for cutie. etc... are underground?

no i know that theyre not but i would like to know some underground bands

It might sound a bit lame but I find a lot of new/underground/local bands on myspace, I have been added by a couple of really good bands from my area. Obviously being in the UK I wouldn't know specifically where to find underground bands in Los Angeles.

myspace is good place to start off... Compilations are great for this too, especially the Rought Trade Records ones. I have most of them and they have an uncanny ability to find good underground stuff.... other than that find a radio station/podcast that plays just underground music...

cool. thanks :)

Go to www.allmusic.com

Type in a couple of bands you like & it`ll give you a list of bands who share influences/were influenced by , quite a number of them are recent or obscure.

http://www.musicplasma.com/ is another good place to find similar bands... also www.last.fm is good to find people with similar tastes and see what they are listening too...

wow thanks a lot indielectronica!
the links are really helpful
