Are You Rested, Indy? Concert Season is Here!

The 2013 Indianapolis concert calendar has thus far been a collection of baby steps. But that all changes this week as the event listings explode. Some highlights of the next two weeks:

February 28 — Imagine Dragons w/ Atlas Genius at Old National Centre is sold out. You can try your luck out front with scalpers but a great alternative is to head over to the Melody Inn for the In-Store’s show featuring Hotfox, The Kickback, and Rodeo Ruby Love.

March 1 — First Friday, so head down to the Do317 Lounge for a free show featuring The Pass and Bailiff.

March 2 — Gaslight Anthem is back in Indy for the first time in 3 years. Tix still available for what is guaranteed to be a rocking show at ONC.

March 4 — Two great options: The Hives with local legends The Zero Boys at the Vogue or head down to the Do317 Lounge for the Seedy Seeds.

March 5 — Back to the lounge you go for Helado Negro’s album release show.

March 6 — This one is big. Buzz-band The Orwells make their way to the Hooser Dome for an all ages RAWK show. Go.

March 8 — A road trip to Bloomington is in order. The Bluebird has Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Foxygen, and Wampire. No question this one will be amazing.

Where in the World is Indy Rock Live? — July

After a nice little break in the schedule, the concert calendar kicks back into gear beginning this week. Below are the shows Indy Rock Live has on the radar:

Friday, July 6: Stop #1, the First Friday Food Truck Fest. Lots of food trucks, live music, good times. After the grub is downed, we’ll be heading over to the Do317 Lounge to catch KO, formerly of Slothpop, for FREE.

Saturday, July 7: We haven’t been to Earth House in a while, but Jukebox the Ghost is reason enough to change that. Savior Adore opens the MOKB Presents show.

Sunday, July 8: Indy Rock Live is making its semi-regular Sunday night stop at the Mel to catch a pair of Nashville artists. Paper Lantern and Nick Flora, along with some local talent, are going to bring some summer pop bliss.

Tuesday, July 10: We’re heading down to Deluxe for Americana courtesy of the Futurebirds and Henry Clay People.

Wednesday, July 11: Fiona Apple in the Old National Theatre. No additional info necessary.

Saturday, July 14: Back to Earth House for Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s. Will be a fun, sexy time.

Sunday, July 15: Another Sunday at the Mel. Black Taxi back for more. Nice.

Tuesday, July 17: Beach House at Vogue. More than worth the trip to the Rip.

Thursday, July 19: Hootenanny time. Old Crow Medicine Show at Old National Centre.

Saturday, July 21: Langhorne Slim is back, and he’s got a new album. Good show last year; this one promises to be even better. Another great MOKB Presents production.

July 27-29: Oh, how we wish we weren’t indisposed, cuz this is a three-night stretch we’d like to hit. Can’t make them all. But you should. Bear Hands, John Fulbright, Florence + the Machine w/ Walkmen. Info here.

Monday, July 30: Can’t stay down for long. Blitzen Trapper! This one at Deluxe.

Tuesday, July 31: Shakes is sold out, but we’re okay with that because we’re heading over to see Temper Trap at the Egyptian Room. So should you!

Busy month of shows in Indy. No excuses! Get moving. We’ll see you out there.
