Thanks to soundman James Finnerty and indie sponsor Solar Dog Records, the whole January Indyish Monthly Mess - the City Mess - is now available over on the Indyish podcast!
You can check out Charlotte Cornfield’s set, which for me was the bright delight surprise of the evening, and the full Save Griffin Town Presentation, […]

Montréalité has been at it since 2004, creating t-shirts that showcase some Montreal iconography and this time around, they have created an exciting contest with a pretty simple formula. Whip out your camera and take a picture that you think really represents this little city called Montreal. Send over your picture to jenx.tshirts@gmail.com and […]

What makes Montreal Montreal?
That’s what Steph Troeth and AJ Kandy asked the crowd that gathered at the City Mess last Friday night. We all recognized the images of Saint-Laurent and Mount Royal avenue, but what makes these places so distinct and so dearly loved? According to the urbanist presenters, Montreal is all about the mix: […]

This post will be a bit scattered, but the general theme is Visual Tidbits. Large, small, many, few, finite, endless…artful?
Central Question: Can the world wide web act as art gallery? Insofar as we frame collections of web pages as “sites”, does the internet enable new spaces and modes of viewing?
 
Site #1 Question: Can the online […]

First time I’ve tried the mid-Mess-blog, but here goes! We’re well into the 11th Monthly Mess. Simon is on the stage and we’re not sure what his act is yet, spoken word is coming, but quietly, and he asked the MC’s (hilarious with the accents) to make up his introduction, which ended up involving fairies. […]

Well, tomorrow is the Indyish Monthly Mess. This is perhaps the most mind-blowing Mess for me yet, for a lot of reasons. For one, I’m really excited that we’ll have Nightwood with us, giving away exclusive EP previews of their new album, which just got picked up by local love buds Grenadine Records!!
Also, we’ve partnered […]

A street art-making dear friend of mine sent me an email this morning with a link to an incredible embroidery artist and I had to share with you guys. Embroidery work has been a pass-time of mine, I love the tiny stitches that become paths and pictures faster then you realize. I don’t love the […]

Indyish’s 11th Monthly Mess brings together indie artists and indie urbanists to reflect on our experience of the city. The music, spoken word, film and images presented are all inspired by the artists’ urban experience and, with this unique show, Indyish explores the ways in which art can create collective meaning and contribute to building […]

I thought this would be easy. I thought that putting together a show about The City would be almost too obvious. After all, we are in Montreal, arguably the indie-music capital of the North America. Artists, and especially musicians, are pulled from across the country, and across the border by the gravity of our cheap […]

Indyish is currently seeking contributions for our Monthly Mess, to take place January 25th. For this mess, we are looking for performers that explore urban space and urban experiences. We are seeking music, spoken word, theatre, photography, urban planning, dance, architectural analysis, comedy, and things we haven’t thought of yet… We are open to putting up pretty much anything on stage, as long as it connects with the theme of the city, be it Montreal or elsewhere.
