When I walked into a concert last month, I was handed a bingo card. The phrases on squares prompted me to find people who had the same favorite color as I did, or had traveled recently — meaning I’d have to speak with strangers. The activity seemed more aligned with a bridal shower than an indie show, but this wasn’t a typical concert. It was put on by Sofar Sounds, a company that lines up concerts with emerging artists at locations that aren’t disclosed until shortly before the show; they can be galleries or event spaces or even backyards. This show in particular wasn’t just about fans finding new artists, but about fans maybe finding love: It was a concert for singles.
