Living Indie is a live streaming service that works with indie bands to present live video streams of concerts for internet-connected devices. Until now they've been focused on shows in Spain. This weekend they live stream their first London show featuring Alaska Campus. It's a great deal for musicians since Living Indie provides their services for free, sending a video crew to the show, with the hopes of building a monetizable platform for viewing.

[Living Indie](http://livingindietv.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is currently part of the 9-month [Wayra UK accelerator program](http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/17/wayra-uk-3rd-intake/?ref=hypebot.com).

The [basic concept](http://livingindietv.com/about?ref=hypebot.com) is straightforward:

"If you’re a singer or band playing indie, indie/rock or electronica, and especially if you’re already a social media rock star, we’d love to hear from you. If it turns out we’re a good fit, we’ll cover all production costs, while you’ll have a live online gig for your fans and a shiny new recording of one of your shows."

Future monetization is planned to include "showing ad-supported gigs for free, charging a small fee for ad-free shows, and offering a full subscription model, too."

So Living Indie is investing a lot upfront in the belief that they can build a monetizable platform.

**Update:** Living Indie Director

Niels Footman

emailed me to clarify that they will be charging fees for production work at some future date writing:

"While we are covering the costs of production at the moment, it almost certainly won't be a permanent feature. We're figuring out how to monetise Living Indie most effectively, and our emphasis for now is building up a user base, but we won't be able to offer the production side "free" beyond an initial period."

"What we will always do, though, is focus on making Living Indie a viable business while making streaming accessible to the kinds of up-and-coming (and even established) acts who have thus far found streaming to be financially out of reach."

To be honest I consider that better news than trying to cover the cost of production entirely through other means which was a likely path to failure. It also sounds like they want to remain flexible and meet promising indies halfway so that too is a good sign for the future of Living Indie.

To date Living Indie has live streamed and [archived](http://livingindietv.com/library?ref=hypebot.com) 15 shows shot in Spain.

On April 12th they live stream their [first concert from London](http://livingindietv.com/clips/view?id=5341756c1fc278ae41a66c9f&ref=hypebot.com) featuring Alaska Campus, The Phantom Runners, SABATTA & The Buzzard Orchestral.

Living Indie bills itself as the "[Netflix of Live Concerts](https://angel.co/living-indie-1?ref=hypebot.com)." Except they're shooting every movie themselves.
