She's an indie rocker
Judging by all of the successful shows at the Troc, TLA, North Star and First Unitarian Church, it's obvious that indie rock is alive and well in Philadelphia. Every day of the week, hundreds show up to check out artists such as Denali, The Appleseed Cast, Minus the Bear or Hot Rod Circuit. But it seems that most of these attendees come from the same pool of people. If you're not already a part of "the scene," you probably think Death Cab For Cutie is some snuff film from the 70's. Why do so many indie bands have no problem drawing healthy crowds, but never seem to capture the attention of the masses?
