Indie in Chicago right now.
A crop of bands barely out of high school put Chicago indie back on national radar: Lifeguard signed to Matador, Friko to ATO, Horsegirl before them, all raised on the same all-ages DIY circuit. The Empty Bottle still anchors Ukrainian Village on any given Tuesday, and Thalia Hall in Pilsen is where the breakout show happens when the wave crests.
Built for the Chicago sound.
Chicago invented house music and changed hip-hop with drill. From Bronzeville studios cutting tomorrow's anthems to the Logan Square DIY rooms hosting indie premieres — Chicago's scene is wildly diverse and tightly local. KollabMe puts the producer in Wicker Park, the venue in Pilsen, and the photographer in Bridgeport one swipe away.
Built for how indie actually gets made.
Indie has always been about doing it yourself — but doing it yourself doesn't mean doing it alone. The bandmate who fills the rhythm section, the producer who gets your reference points, the photographer who shoots the press kit, the DIY venue that books your tour stop. KollabMe is the network for the people who'd otherwise meet at the same five basement shows.
