Description

One of the best mid-size venues in the region, the Independent boasts great sound and sightlines, not to mention a diverse calendar that pulls top acts from genres including indie rock, alt-country, electronica, post-punk, funk, hip-hop, reggae, and other music from around the globe. Headlining acts often make the jump to larger, less-intimate theaters, making the Independent a great place to say you saw them when they were still playing the club circuit.

    Cocktails Mix up Catchy, Accessible 'Slop-Pop'

    By Sam Lefebvre | Wed, May 01, 2013

    Before a show at the Night Light in Oakland, Cocktails vocalist Patrick Clos is bobbing his head compulsively. Paisley shirt buttoned to the neck beneath a flight jacket, Clos casually describes the San Francisco band's assets. "What works for us... More »

    Os Mutantes: Show Preview

    By Reyan Ali | Wed, May 01, 2013

    Don't get your hopes up: Fool Metal Jacket, the new ninth record from Brazilian tropicália veterans Os Mutantes, is not a tongue-in-cheek concept record based on Stanley Kubrick's legendary war flick. Bandleader and sole original member Sérgio... More »

    Savages: Show Preview

    By Reyan Ali | Wed, April 17, 2013

    Savages' sudden blast upward proves that you should never underestimate the value of mystique. The London post-punk outfit has only been active since October 2011, but it's already amassed a substantial following among music journalists based on... More »

    Jamie Lidell: Show Preview

    By Reyan Ali | Wed, March 27, 2013

    With Rick James' trek to the great disco in the sky nearly nine years ago, and Prince's increasingly elusive, unpredictable behavior, someone's gotta be in line to carry on the legacy of slinky R&B/funk/pop/lovemaking music perfected by black... More »

  • 2010 | Best Sound System (Live)

    As it morphed from punk palace Kennel Club to hip-hop sweatbox Justice League, this space has been home to its fair share of sonic history. It's reassuring to know that those making musical history here now are doing so with such good sound. The bass capabilities dazzle at the dancehall and reggae shows, the sharpness of the treble feels otherworldly during electronic musicians' laptop symphonies, and guitars come across as riveting at the Independent's rock concerts.

  • 2004 | Best Live-Music Venue

    When the Justice League closed more than a year ago, a lot of us gave up hope that the space at 628 Divisadero -- which has played home to a never-ending parade of doomed concert halls over the last two decades -- would reopen. But in February, it did just that, with a bang. Boasting new owners, newly upgraded facilities, and a new promoter booking its shows -- none other than Another Planet Entertainment, the indie promotions company that's giving Clear Channel a run for its money in the...
