Live band tribute to 2000s indie anthems, with hits from Maxïmo Park, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and more.
NME'D are playing The Live Rooms on Friday 13 November, a night dedicated to the indie classics of the 2000s. They're a live band, and the whole set is built around the guitar-led sound that defined that era.
The set list draws from the names that filled the pages of NME back then: Maxïmo Park, Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-Fi, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Kasabian, The Libertines and The Fratellis. It's a wide sweep of the decade, from the dancey indie of the mid-2000s to the rawer, garage-influenced stuff that came out of London and Sheffield.
They describe it as a full-throttle throwback to a time when guitars ruled and indie music felt dangerous again. The focus is on the anthems that soundtracked the best nights and worst hangovers of the 00s, and they've promised no filler and no deep cuts — just the hits played loud and live. If you spent your twenties (or your teens) with these bands on repeat, it's a fair idea of what to expect.
