About

Bio

Indigo Bruise is a three-piece all-girl punk band from Pasadena, California, formed through a shared love of music and creativity that began in high school. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres, the band experimented with indie rock, shoegaze, screamo, and Riot Grrrl before ultimately finding their voice in punk rock.

Since forming, Indigo Bruise has become closely connected to the Pasadena and Los Angeles DIY music scene, performing at venues and events including the Pour House in Monrovia, the Doo Dah Parade, and numerous backyard shows. One of the band's proudest achievements was performing at The Smell, a venue that had been on their bucket list since the band's earliest days.

In addition to performing live, the band has recorded several original songs and hopes to release them in the future as they continue to develop their sound and grow as musicians.

Beyond music, Indigo Bruise enjoys collaborating on photography, film projects, visual art, and other creative endeavors, viewing each project as an extension of their artistic identity. United by friendship, a strong connection to their local community, and a commitment to creative expression, Indigo Bruise continues to grow as both musicians and artists while contributing to the vibrant DIY culture of Pasadena and Los Angeles.
