Tonight I’m going to go check out the mainstage of M for Montreal, a bilingual industry showcase for local music that comes round once a year here in Montreal, Quebec. On the lineup are Karkwa, whose music videos we recently featured here on Indyish, and Jon Lajoie who is funn-nny and who we featured back [...]

Ah ladies with your ukulele’s and your chirpy old timey tones, will I ever have enough of you! This gal Ingrid Michaelson is one of those voices you’ve heard on Grey’s Anatomy and on commercials on the tv and then you find out she’s determinedly indie and it’s like ah! of course. How else to [...]

Thanks to Musebox for the heads up on Australian band Rudely Interrupted. The music is great, heavy sad and joyful all at once, and the musicians make me so happy. I have family and friends with Aspergers and it means a lot to see these guys and gal with all their own unique disabilities freakin [...]

This Paris based tango project, Gotan Project, has been all over TV and in every recent cheesy/awesome tango related movie, but they are still proudly indie, on a label called Ya Basta! no less. Plus today is sunny and clear and cold, bright with promise and the livingroom is ripe for dancing, so today is [...]

Signed to local Montreal indie label Audiogram, Karkwa have a heavy pretty sound that sounds like this town, and some nice illustration and animation in their music videos. Here are the two I particularly like, and there’s more from Karkwa over on Indyish Video.

This one was made for a contest put on by Audiogram [...]

Spend today sampling this collection and then try to tell the music video that the medium is dead (who makes random proclamations like that anyway? also… who talks to music videos?)
Here’s a few that I enjoyed from the 60 Beautiful Music Videos gathered by Ashley Ringrose, and here are all of them over on SmashingMagazine.

The Silent Years wandered from Detroit to LA and back, won my heart completely with their nerdy sincerity and pretty pretty harmonies, and along the way made some beautiful videos in collaboration with young contemporary artists:

Lots more of these artist videos and live The Silent Years shows on Video.Indyish.com.

Ok, first and foremost, I need to share this video of MGMT covering the Talking Heads. Awkwards, outdoors, adorable:

In this one they talk about how “we’re entering a new generation of love” and how “major labels are so uncool that it’s cool to be on a major label” (they’re on Columbia.)

And in this one, the [...]

European companies are innovating in the world of creative business models which merge openness and the pursuit of profit for artists. Newest on the scene, launched just today and only to sexy folks like us who got the promo code via email, making us feel special and admittedly a little biased in their favour, is [...]

A new video for the loverly Loch Lomond, discovered via IndieMusicPortland! Highfives to Portland! (Oregon I was thinking… but also Maine, why not, high fives to Maine.)

Here’s Heather Woods of Loch Lomond and Horse Feathers with the Portland Cello Project. (hey, I featured the Portland Cello Project on Indyish one time!)

And here’s another official [...]
