Have y’all read Us v. Them: The Age Of Indie Music And A Decade In New York (2004-2014)? Author Ronen Givony, a guy who’s been booking and attending some of the coolest shows in NYC for the past couple decades, wrote the book about what was happening on the ground in the city during a time when indie rock was exploding into the mainstream. Instead of focusing on the biggest stars from the era, he zeroes in on people who ran essential Brooklyn venues like Glasslands and Silent Barn or used corporate money to book wild spectacles like the Boredoms’ 77-drummer, 77-minute concert on 7/7/07. And there are profiles of the bands that existed alongside your brand-name indie favorites, like Sea Ray and Dragons Of Zynth.
