Best Indie & Rock in Madison

Mother Mother at The Sylvee

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!

Barenaked Ladies at Overture Hall

Barenaked Ladies

Canada's finest purveyors of bouncy pop-rock are heading out for a handful of shows in 2024. The multiple Juno Award-winning band never fail to deliver hook-laden goodness, from their iconic single 'One Week', to the theme tune for TV's The Big Bang Theory, and their live shows are always fantastic fun.

Cold War Kids at The Sylvee

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.

Dawes at Majestic Theatre

Dawes

Through a tapestry of warm vocals and sun-soaked guitar hooks, Dawes have made a name for themselves for replicating the feel of the Lauren Canyon sound of the 70's. But far from being a copy, the quartet are something retro inspired, but with a chilled vibe straight out of the present. Enjoy some authentically vintage beats by Dawes in 2024!

The National at Breese Stevens Field

The National

Grammy-winning icons of indie rock, The National, have declared 2024 as theirs, announcing a brand new tour with fellow Grammy-winners, The War On Drugs! Titled the 'Zen Diagram Tour', this fresh trek will mark the first time the two bands co-headline together. They will be joined by indie band Lucius as support on all dates. Expect to delve into the deep catalogs of both bands as the tour kicks off this fall!

Ben Folds at Orpheum Theatre

Ben Folds

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.
