Industrial music is an abrasive mix of rock
and electronic sound. It became popular
in the 70’s with an experimental genre influenced by provocative and transgressive
themes. Indie music as it is nicknamed is an underground movement found in
Second Life clubs. If you’re not sure where to go in Second Life to listen then
here is a list of some clubs which I feel you will enjoy not only for the music
but also for the atmosphere too.
Twisted
Dreams
Twisted Dreams is a club for all you twisted
souls out there in SL. Featuring some of the best DJ's in SL, playing dubstep,
industrial, EBM, Electro Swing.....and anything else the crowd wants to hear.
They are all about the music and fun. They
do not play only industrial music so if you are looking for a club that plays
just indie then maybe this isn’t the right club for you, however, if you’re
looking for a club that spins industrial and other tunes then TP down and hang
out.
alt7
At ALT7 you will find a wide variety of indie
music as well as alternative tunes spun by DJs across the world. Nice club. It is
small yet inviting.
Unknown Pleasures: Transmission Club
Here you will find indie
to alternative music as well as other genre such as new wave and punk or as
they call it post punk. It is an underground
effect club with a twist.
The Velvet
The Velvet has been
rocking the grid with alternative and eclectic DJs since 2006. It is also home
to some of the most passionate Djs in Second Life. They take pride in sharing
their music collection and take music tunes seriously. The vibe here is always
fun and inviting.

The Attic is well known
for being a friendly entertainment spot on the grid. Regular scheduled DJs

music. This genre has evolved throughout the years and as the demand gets bigger
the more clubs will open.
