蜜芽传媒

A new tribe is born: The Indie. You can spot an Indie a mile off. They are in skinny jeans, scarves, and trilbies, in a random configuration designed to look as dirty and debauched as possible. The early internet - MySpace and band forums - solidifies this fun new scene, and breaks down barriers between artist and fan. 'Guerilla Gigs' become a thing, with spontaneous shows sprouting up in funeral parlours, tube trains, pub roofs ... and drug dens.

Featured interviewees include Alexandra Haddow, Gary Jarman and Pete Doherty
Presented by Kate Nash
Produced by Jack Howson & Rich Power
A Peanut & Crumb production for 蜜芽传媒 Sounds & 6 Music
