Spector’s Fred McPherson with indie hero of yesteryear, Joe Lean of the Jing Jang Jong
Let’s be honest, British indie music probably did die for a bit. Nobody was throwing roses into its grave and crying into their veils as “Can’t Stand Me Now” played on the organ, but it was in a vegetative state for a while. Although, while a lot of the world was crowing about that, some of indie’s greatest fans have been trying to save the old dear.
Leading the charge are the Dalston Kaiser Chiefs themselves, Spector: a band intent on bringing backglamorous indie rock and roll. So we thought that their headline show at Camden’s Electric Ballroom would be a good place to go and check out the resurrection live. Whilst we were there, it seemed like a good idea to ask a carefully selected cross-section of people if indie is dead, ever died, and if so, who should be charged with its murder. Like Cluedo with a vest and braces combo.
