5 Local Bands To Check Out In Indianapolis
Tumblr

Local music is super important. It's always a good thing if you are an avid music fan to get involved and acquainted with local music. Especially if you love concerts, because odds are that your local bands will be putting on a lot of local shows either for free or very cheap prices!

It's also just important to support these artists because odds are they're smaller bands that are just trying to get exposure and appreciate all the attention they can get! In the Indianapolis area there are tons of local bands, but here are just of a few of the top bands I encourage you to listen to!

1. Margot & The Nuclear So and So's

First off how fantastic is this band name!? Margot & The Nuclear So and So's are an Indie Rock/Folk band based right here in Indianapolis, Indiana. The band has been around since 2004 and is most known for their single "Broad Ripple is burning". If you like bands like the Lumineers, Blind Pilot, or The Avett Brothers, this band is definitely for you!

2. Saint Aubin

Saint Aubin is a relatively new band based also in Indianapolis, IN. They have been described as "a soulful collision of alt-rock, and jazzy folk music" by The Anchored Soul Blog. If you enjoy bands such as Fleet Foxes, Bright eyes, or Neutral Milk Hotel, you would most likely enjoy this band as well!

3. Mike Adams at His Honest Weight

This band is actually based in Bloomington, Indiana. However, their sound and energy is still fantastic. The band was created in 2011. The lead singer of the group Mike Adams is known for his humor, especially on stage! The band is most known for there song "Be Free Live Well". I would say their music is also in the category of indie/alternative music. Check them out!

4. Landon Keller

Honestly he might be my favorite on the list. Landon Keller has a very Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson vibe to his music which is electrifying and undeniably catchy. The band has been around since 2007 yet still has little recognition which is sad to say the least. Definitely check this guy out.

5. Lily & Madeleine

Based in Indianapolis, this duo (of SISTERS how cool!?) on Spotify is described as "Specializing in ethereal, introspective indie folk in the vein artists like First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes (with just a touch of Taylor Swift)". These girls are adorable to say the least. Their voices are also undeniably beautiful. Definitely a band to check out. They are most know for their song "Come To Me".

Hope these bands help you to begin discover some local music! Happy Listening!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
