The Bay Bridged has been doing some fun live blogging of the Treasure Island Music Festival going down around San Fransico this past weekend. They’ve got photos and blurbies on about every act, including current frenzy inducing indies who are also endearing and awesome; Okkervil River, and Fleet Foxes who so charmed Marilis when they [...]
This Saturday, Oct 3 2008, if you come down to the grounds for the Remember Griffintown event by noon you can enjoy live music performed by a 6 piece acoustic Irish group put together by Elizabeth Johnston.

I am delighted to be able to announce that the beloved performers, improvisers, and award winning script writers who call themselves Uncalled For will be hosting our Indyish MonthlyMess this weekend in Griffintown. Sept 13. Yay! I just found out, figured I’d share asap, so after this quick blog I’ll update the Event page. From [...]
This is yet another week of hustle for your dedicated Indyish co-founders. While Elran’s been finishing up a website for Tilly D’Oro, and a quick migrate and update for our Kidnapper homies, makers of “Who is KK Downey?” (which you should go see this week!)

While they’ve always been one of the most interesting and fun bands in the [...]
Check out the poster for the MonthlyMess coming up, it’s a big party for Indyish.com’s 2nd Birthday (we love birthdays) and we’re just celebrating with as much art and live music and sound and story and film and dance as we can possibly cram into one evening at La Sala Rossa. The mood will be [...]
Last night headed down to Metropolis, that curvey, looming, cavern of a venue on St Catherine Street, to enjoy with 500+ other fans the return of the RZA. Wu-Tang was in town just a few months ago, and even then friends of ours who saw them said the show felt a little hollow with some [...]
Snippits gathered for those who wished they were there last week at the Radio City Music Hall to see My Morning Jacket… to be honest, of course, these don’t really suffice, but they give a hint of the feeling. Here’s a review from the Village Voice if “this show was ok, but not as good [...]
