Georgians on MySpace
I posted in Septemeber, about some georgian musicians on MySpace. I will try to track Georgians on MySpace and give roundups time from time. In this post I will try to give look at some bands who play Indie music.
OTAR my cousin and grandson of georgian composer Otar Taktakishvili. He released two albums: Fuse (2002) and Rebel Record (2006). He plays with the band called The Gglitch.

The original "indie" grew out of the post-punk college radio scene during the 1980s. It was a mostly Middle American avant-garde movement that took anti-fashion and anti-commercialism as seriously as Middle American Protestants would.
