DIY or DIE #0 - what do we talk about when we talk about indie?

  • SUPeR bookstore 31C Blågårdsgade København, , 2200 Denmark (map)

“Kill yr idols
Sonic death
It's the end of the world
Your confusion is sex”

(Sonic Youth, Kill Yr Idols)

What do we talk about when we talk about indie? How the fuck did we go from teenagers recording tapes in their bedrooms to indie-sleaze aesthetics on high fashion runways? Should we leave Spotify, and if so, what’s the alternative? How did Instagram and social media twist the very idea of independent music?

This free introductory session will dive into all of this while launching DIY or DIE, a new reading & discussion club on indie music and its ambiguous role within (and against) capitalism. We’ll also outline the club’s structure and preview the books we’ll read together. Expect music, videos, and maybe some surprise guests along the way.

Full program pass: 400 kr (subscription optional after this free intro session)
The fee (after taxes) will be donated to pro-Palestine organizations.

(single sessions will be posted based on availability a few days before each event and will cost 150 kr)

Curated by Alessia Peca  — writer, poet, and independent cultural curator from Italy, passionate about music. Rooted in the Italian underground scene, after living in Paris for a year, she is now haunting Copenhagen.
