About Soundproof, seeking DJs
At Soundproof we endeavor to keep it eclectic, weird, wild, and mix lots of old school, classic alternative along with current, contemporary bands. The focus at Soundproof isn't on the indie hits, the popular bands and songs topping Pitchfork lists and charts or other popular blogs and publications. There's a shift here away from dancey indiepop.
Our motto is dare to be different and make it truly alternative or indie in the sense of indie label bands going back as far as indie started, right up to current day. A history of indie and alternative (including punk, postpunk, new wave, garage rock, alt-folk, goth, psychedelic and much more) of all kinds is what I hope people can find in the sets here. Creativity with sets is strongly encouraged. The only real requirement for playing at Soundproof though is having a real passion and love for alternative music. It's about DJing for the music, not the crowds and tips.
No cliques, no elitism. Uniting the freaks, the outsiders, the music nerds under one roof, to be silly as shit and party on. Wanna DJ here? Contact Paradox Messmer. All friendly people are welcome. As of now, there are DJs on Tuesdays and Fridays. We are also featured in the Destination Guide! SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bloom%20County/100/140/23

Folks, we have a fresh new year ahead of us, and I've added a new wordpress theme to the Indie Cantina to commemorate the occasion. I loved this video of the London New Years fireworks:
