Best Indie & Rock in October 2024

For King And Country at Spectrum Center

For King And Country

The Grammy winners For KING AND COUNTRY are back with the 'Unsung Hero: The Tour'! Hailing from the land of Oz, Christian Contemporary Music duo For King And Country have taken their new homeland by storm with soaring praise anthems, emotionally charged lyrics and a reputation for theatrical, percussive and high-energy live shows that keeps their fan base growing.

Mother Mother at Fillmore Charlotte

Mother Mother

Formed in Vancouver by siblings Ryan and Molly in 2005, Mother Mother expanded their upbeat alt folk-rock empire with the additions of keyboardist/singer Jasmin Parkin, dummer Ali Siadat and bassist Mike Young. Fusing catchy melodic hooks with driving, groove-laden bass-lines, sparkling synths and glorious three part harmonies, the quintet have solidified their status as indie pop heavyweights!

Ben Rector at The Amp Ballantyne

Ben Rector

Nashville native Ben Rector mixes shades of soul, gospel and upbeat sunshine pop to form piano-driven anthems that could get the toes of even the most cynical of audiophiles tapping along. Over a decade after he took his first tentative steps into the music world whilst studying at the university of Arkansas, Rector has toured around the USA and released nine studio albums!

Men At Work at Ovens Auditorium

Men At Work

They come from a land Down Under, and they're bringing the flowing beer, but hopefully not the men who chunder. Grammy Award-winners Men at Work are back and touring the United States this fall after a successful run in South America. The multi-platinum-selling Australians are set to revive the eighties on their countrywide tour, so join in the fun and dance the night away!

Cold War Kids at Fillmore Charlotte

Cold War Kids

Alternative rockers and indie darlings Cold War Kids are heading out on a new tour in 2024, with pop duo Hovvdy and indie pop artist Joe P on select dates. Known for their jangling guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics, CWK cite influences as far-ranging as Fiona Apple to Led Zeppelin, which all come together in a blues-rock-infused jam fest.

X The Band at Neighborhood Theatre

X The Band

You might be forgiven for getting them confused with a certain rebranded social media platform, but a place to shout into the void they are not. Punk rockers X are on tour this summer and are ready to tear it up! Returning once more as the original lineup, expect to hear their biggest hits including Los Angeles' and Poor Girl.' Some dates are already sold out, so get your tickets while you can.

Lake Street Dive at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre

Lake Street Dive

This Boston-formed country band has been winning over music fans with their diverse style since winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006 and self-financing the recording of their debut album 'In This Episode'. With their key influences in classic pop and swing era jazz, they often cite The Beatles as their main inspiration.

Little Feat at Knight Theatre

Little Feat

Formed in 1969, Little Feat is one of the great survivors of American rock music. Having gone through numerous lineup changes and breakups, the band are still playing their unmistakable brand of murky blues, country, and funk. Founding member Bill Payne, who is also a prolific session player, and has played with the likes of Pink Floyd and The Doobie Brothers, is still going strong, touring extensively year on year!

Rainbow Kitten Surprise at Spectrum Center

Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Rainbow Kitten Surprise may sound like the title of a Japanese game show, but the band's mature, genre-defying sound is as surprising as their choice of moniker. Drawing upon facets of grunge, alt-rock, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals.

Trampled by Turtles at The Amp Ballantyne

Trampled by Turtles

Bluegrass folk band Trampled by Turtles formed in 2003 in Minnesota and have since released nine studio albums, the latest being 'Life Is Good on the Open Road' in 2018. A contrast between emotional songwriting and hard-hitting rock beats, it's a welcome comeback for the band as they hit the road on tour!

Railroad Earth at The Underground

Railroad Earth

No strangers to bending genres, Railroad Earth have created their own subgenre blend of bluegrass, rock, jazz and celtic folk music. No two shows are ever alike - the sextet also push boundaries on stage with improvisation and jamming, bringing the heat with anthemic songs like Warhead Boogie and Blazin' A Trail.

Here Come The Mummies at Neighborhood Theatre

Here Come The Mummies

A 5,000-year-old foul-smelling, well-endowed, and manly tribe, capable of infinite funkiness are coming to town! The funk band kicked things off in 2000, and are best known for their unrelenting live performances which melt your face and keep the mayhem going from beginning to end. Here Come The Mummies... literally!
