how about the 'yeah yeah yeahs'? fronted by Karen O (not to be confused with Kelly O!!), a really charismatic singer check out 'date with the night' which is played in a lot of clubs and is great, really frenzied and thrilling. 'maps' by them is slower and is truly beautiful definitely one of my favourite ever songs

To be 100% factual "Indie" is an independant band, meaning not signed to a major label - so none of the above mentioned bands are technically indie!

But who is 100% factual all of the time? ;-) I certainly am not and always refer to a certain style of music as being Indie, even if it is a band signed to a major

well my favorite indie is without a doubt the magnetic fields. Their album, 69 love songs is a 3 disk classic. There newest album, i is also verrrrry good. a little hard to find online, but personal favorites include songs like I don't really love you anymore and Chicken with its head cut off. Check em out!

yeah i knew indie meant independent but its now used to talk about a style of music.
its like the word pop means popular music- which covers everything from 50 Cent to Mandy Moore to Metallica as they are all popular- but now its used to describe a certain type of sound only.

dude if your gonna talk about nz indie music you gotta talk about the clean, the chills, the verlaines and all of that other flying nun stuff, while some of those other bands may be good, you cant mention nz and indie in the same sentence without referencing the aforementioned bunch.

Little Birdy - grrl lead singer who is totally mesmerising onstage. Sweet Indie Pop with moments of pure rock
End of Fashion - Just got signed to a major but nice pop-rock
Night Hour - solo guy, think Elliott Smith, Pedro the Lion, Death Cab For Cutie and you are around the right place musically
The Tremors - drrttyy rock...
The RedSun Band - Sonic Youth...but by "little" girls
