The Monday Set: Bauhaus – Wiesbaden – 11/28/81
For 30 plus (yeah 30!) years, Peter Murphy has been one of the most captivating front-men in show business. I recently took my wife to her first Peter Murphy concert and even though she knew next to nothing about his solo work short of "Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem" she walked away even more captivated by the performance than I did (more...)
Burning Hearts – Into The Wilderness
Burning Hearts put out one of my favorite records in 2009 and they are finally back with a brand new EP out on Shelflife Records. The 4 song EP is a little more mellow than their previous record, but the Finnish duo manage to squeeze in one rocker at the end (more...)
The Wednesday Set: LCD Soundsystem – New York – 3/28/11 (Set 3)
So this was the opening night of the much-hyped "farewell" concert series for LCD Soundsystem. After the villainous triple threat of corporate America, scalpers, and free market capitalism hijacked the ticket sale for the Madison Square Garden show, snatching up all the tickets (more...)
The Tuesday Set: LCD Soundsystem – New York – 3/28/11 (Set 2)

Klaxons: Two Recievers, Magick and 2 More Tracks (Live)
If there was some kind of an official award for the "Most Amusing Album Cover" given out each year, Klaxons' 2010 entry, "Surfing the Void", would make a strong contender. The cover isn't particularly funny, it's just that it's, well, amusing (more...)
Exene Cervenka and Kevin Seconds – New Orleans
Two of West Coast punk's most accomplished performers -- Exene Cervenka and Kevin Seconds -- were recently on tour together, and we caught them playing solo acoustic sets at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans in March (more...)
The Monday Set: Joy Division – Leeds – 9/8/79
TSOI is finally back! And to correspond with Peter Hook's new release today we're posting a vintage Joy Division show to hopefully cleanse the palate. This audience recording was originally released as the bootleg "All God's Angels Beware" which combined this show with the July 27th, 1979 Blackpool gig (more...)
TSOI On 3 Week Hiatus*
The Sound Of Indie will be on a short 3 week hiatus*. Instead of giving you your fix of the best in live and rare indie music, 25% of the site will be traipsing around Eastern Europe trying to "Find Ourselves". If any readers are in Vienna, Prague or Salzberg, hit us up in the comments with must see suggestions on concerts or museums (more...)
The Monday Set: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – New Orleans – 4/7/11
I had been wanting to catch Brooklyn’s Pains of Being Pure at Heart ever since their debut album came out, but I missed them the one time they came through Louisiana a few years ago. Thanks to One Eyed Jacks’ regular ’80′s show being scheduled for Thursday night, POBPAH (if I can coin an acronym) had to play an early set (more...)
