Came to know the word "indey" from my brother and a mutual friend. It simply a short representation for independent musicians.
My brother once told me about English independent musician weekly chart in the UK, and how these talented musicians got a chance to emerge from being underground to the top of the world. At least more exposure and chance for these people to play their music for a wider audience. Pretty amazing!
I got to know "My Little Airport" from M. The music is very refreshing, away from those commercialised music I heard over the radio. When she played another group, 自然捲"Natural Q", it seems somewhat familiar. I heard some of their songs over Wa FM, if I am not mistaken. The songs which I vividly remembered were "C'est La Vie" and "Natural Q". Something different and yet entertaining.
I reminds me of 海螺新韻獎"Hai Luo" new artist performance award during my high school years. First heard 梁靜茹Liang Jing Ru's "Qi Dai"期待, it was really touching. I can still remember the lyrics. I think it's a starting point for her career as a perfoming singer. Her commercial works are popular, however, I still like the voice who sang "Qi Dai"期待, so memorable, and I felt so good.
As this example said, I wonder whether these indipendent musicians would end up being too commercialised until it losts its original pursue of promoting their original genre of music?
I just wonder.
