Opening its doors in 2004 (the year of Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl NippleGate, the Thai tsunami, Britney and Madonna’s VMA kiss, the launch of Facebook, and the series finale of Friends), The Independent is a venue that has helped to cultivate a burgeoning music scene: acts like Tea Leaf Green, The Devil Makes Three, ALO, Brett Dennen, Thee Oh Sees, Tycho, and Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers began their music careers at the venue. Located in the NOPA District, The Independent isn’t just a music venue: on some Monday evenings, they host a free movie night (with a two-drink minimum, of course). Their schedule is diverse, with genres from indie rock and metal to electronica and reggae finding a slot on stage.
