Was there and indie rock scene in the 1950's and 1960's? or was this just random anybodies making music in a garage?

Actually was garage rock the first indie music?

The Shaggs

no to everything

Indie rock/pop became its own sound/genre in the early 80s, Dunedin bands from New Zealand (flying nun label) were a huge influence on everything that came after.

.

Nothing from there was even remotely influential to anyone in europe or america

not that guy but the chills made some waves in the UK i think. and superchunk had a really good cover of a verlaines song. but yeah "huge influence" is a massive overstatement

Henry Cow, R. Stevie Moore, The Fugs, the list goes on...

Bach

correct

The Sonics

factory records

>Blind Joe Death was one of the first albums recorded and produced by an independent artist. Self-released on Takoma Records, the label didn't formally exist until 1963 when Fahey and ED Denson formed a partnership with record distributor Norman Pierce. Barry Hansen wrote in 1972, "John Fahey is the original underground musician. Dylan was still at Hibbing High School when John Fahey made his first record."
