Indie band

The term Indie nowadays describes a current trend since around 2003 to consider "indie" a certain musical style rather than a stance towards
commercialism.
This style is in most cases a mixture of wave, early punkrock, singer/songwriter music, electronica and above all whiney singing.
Ironically most bands
among those "indie" bands are not part of an independent
music scene, but as part of the musical mainstream rather dependent.
Indie Bands With a Mission

Indie Bands With a Mission, also known as
IBWAM, is a volunteer group/informal,
non-profit organization. Our goal is to write cookbooks that feature a few local/unknown bands and the band members' favorite recipes.
The profits from each
cookbook will go towards whatever charity the bands featured in the cookbook want to help. A few food banks in the Washington, DC area will benefit from the profits as well.
The first cookbook is Wonder Treats That Bands Fantasize About.
Example:
Girl 1: Did you hear about Indie Bands With a Mission?
Girl 2: No, who are they?
Girl 1: This great volunteer group! Matthew Fazzi & Isaac
Bolivar of Taking Back Sunday/Happy Body Slow Brain, Find
Vienna, AND
Corrin Campbell joined. We should help them out. They give back to society!
Girl 2: COOL. Where can I check them out?
Girl 1: Everywhere! Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Tumblr!
