indie rock cafe

Showing their true indie pride, students at Washington University in St. Louis ritually transform their study hall into a quasi-rock club known in the indie world as "The Gargoyle".

Since its first show held in 2002, the Gargolye quickly grew as a hot spot for indie up-starts as well as established indie bands. Over the years, the rooster has ranged from Yo La Tengo to Minus The Bear.

Just some of the great indie artists that have played this unique venue, or 'got a jumpstart', if you will, at the Gargoyle include:

Yo La Tengo
Broken Social Scene
The Golden Republic
Stars
Ted Leo
Ben Kweller
Starlight Mints
Minus The Bear

The Gargoyle has been holding shows since the early 80's, at least! (I was a student and volunteer there during the early 90's)
