10 past events with the indie rock tag

Brooklyn-based Les Racquet has been making waves with their dynamic live performances and festival appearances since their 2010 inception. Heralded as one of the most highly acclaimed young acts in the US today, they are quickly establishing a reputation for delivering exciting live shows to passionate music fans with high energy and brazen sincerity - intimate and engaging, no matter the venue size.

New York singer-songwriter David Bronson has a sound that falls somewhere between modern indie folk and classic rock singer-songwriting, and has been compared to Neil Young, Iron & Wine, and Cat Stevens. He's received much critical praise from the releases of his debut double album project The Long Lost Story. Bronson will be performing solo acoustic at Be Here Now on Friday, March 7 at 9pm for the Muncie show of his 2014 Winter Tour.

Brooklyn-based Les Racquet has been heralded as one of the most highly acclaimed young acts in the US today, quickly establishing a reputation for delivering exciting live shows to passionate music fans with high energy and brazen sincerity - intimate and engaging, no matter the venue size.Their music has been called indie rock and power-pop, but what sets the band apart is their influences in jazz combined with 3-part vocal harmonies.

Hedwig rocks her way into Muncie, Indiana, in Be Here Now's first theatrical production. Zachary Ryan Allen will bring the characters to life in this presentation of the musical HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH written by John Cameron Mitchell featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Trask.

It tells the story of "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock 'n' roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just "an angry inch." This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band "The Angry Inch." Using songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story, which began in the former East Berlin where as Hansel he meets Luther, an American GI who promises to take the young man to the States on the condition that he switch his sex. After the bungled operation, Luther abandons newly named Hedwig in a Kansas trailer park where she turns to music and meets geeky Tommy Speck, whom she takes under her wing and soon falls for. Tommy steals her songs, achieves rock star fame, and Hedwig is once again cast aside. She decides to demand redress and stalks Tommy's world tour, performing in the dive bars that are situated next door to his stadiums. Hedwig describes her life's search for "The Origin of Love" and her other half. It's a rocking ride, funny, touching and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

HEDWIG is a unique brand of theatre that plays off more as a rock concert than a play. This raucous, outrageous show promises to fully immerse the audience in the twisted world of Hedwig and her pursuit of fame.

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is presented in special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services.
