New Music Indiana: XLVI Indy Music Legacy Project

...And thus the masses descend on Indianapolis for the 46th Super Bowl in the year 2012. But with any luck, they won't leave without some new knowledge about our city and its rich (if vastly underrated) culture.



Thanks to the tireless work of The Kinetic Project's Michael Kaufmann and John Beeler, MFT, and a handful of other diligent volunteers, we are proud to present the "XLVI Indy Music Legacy Project," featuring 46 songs by 46 diverse and talented musical acts! At least nine months in the making, this project brings together many of the best songs from the last few decades of Indiana's musical history.

My friends, I am an addict; a junkie of the most self-destructive, doom-ridden sort. But what I need can’t just be bought on the street or over the counter.

MFT Exclusive: Andrew Gustin (The Dwellers, Etc.)
