Broad Ripple Music Fest Kickoff Party!
This unique all-reunion bill pays homage to the network of Indiana musicians and bands that Musical Family Tree has worked to keep connected since the early 2000's. It will set the tone for the BRMF main event on Saturday, October 17th.
Presented by NUVO, Musical Family Tree, Small Box Web Design and Transpanther Group.
Johnny Socko (Original Lineup)
Indianapolis / Bloomington based kings of goofy ska / punk that managed to tour 270 days a year in the early 90's. They broke Dave Matthews gear, ate from the Deli trays of the Meat Puppets and charted alongside Elvis Costello. They also wore banana suits.
Mab Lab
A truly unique blend of hip hop, soul and organic chemistry featuring Kate Lamont (Blueprintmusic, Earth House Collective), Eric Brown (Audio Recon), Mike Graves (DJ Dicky Fox, Twilight Sentinels) and Ande Shaul (People vs. Radio).
Nightjar
Nightjar’s sound isn’t a one-trick pony. Their influences range from Otis Redding to classical music, and they find a way to work those disparate influences into their songs seamlessly." - IndianapolisMusic.net
The Vogue
Indianapolis, IN 46220
The Vogue Nightclub in Broad Ripple is one the most popular and storied venues in the Midwest. The Vogue opened as a movie theater on June 18, 1938. Through the next 3 decades, The Vogue was one of the premier movie houses in the Midwest. In the 70's The Vogue's image shifted a bit when it became an X rated movie theater, and even featured cult classic "Deep Throat".
On December 31, 1977, The Vogue opened as a nightclub. Since our opening in the late 70's, The Vogue has continuously been considered the top nightspot in Indianapolis. Many great bands and artists have performed here over the past 25 years including Warren Zevon, Bo Diddley, Willie Nelson, John Hiatt, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, Cheap Trick, Little Feat, David Byrne, Rusted Root, Bob Weir & Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, Govt Mule, Keb' Mo', The Dave Matthews Band, and many more!
Not only are we known for our great concerts, but over the past 10 years, we have been the #1 dance club in Indy, as well. Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night, we are host to some of the hottest dance parties in Indiana. Spinning everything from retro to top 40, hip hop and techno, The Vogue's dance nights are considered the place to be seen.
