Sofar Sounds is ideal for college students who want to attend a concert while exploring different venues within the city on a budget. Ten years later, Sofar Sounds is established in more than 300 cities worldwide, featuring more than 500 gigs per month. Soon after this experience, they set up gigs in major cities including Paris and New York City. One day, they decided to host a concert at Dave Alexander’s North London apartment, inviting only a few close friends to listen to his music. The idea was generated by its founders, who were irritated by the lack of intimacy at popular concert venues. The London–based startup was founded in 2009 by Rale Offer, Rocky Start, and Dave Alexander. What happened to live music that felt real, that allowed artists to be heard without outside interference? What if we could go to a performance for under $20 on a whim, with a small audience and no distractions? The organization Sofar Sounds seemed to have just the solution.
Plus, when you do get out to a concert, you have to deal with large crowds, people talking during the performance, blocking your view by taking pictures and videos, and getting way too drunk while you're trying to enjoy the show. We always face that dilemma of whether we should spend money that could go towards necessities such as food to splurge on a show, or to stay in and save money. As college students, getting out to concerts is tricky.
