Dear Indyish,
I am trying to book shows for Nightwood’s upcoming tour and today I hit a road block. This is the first time in a long time that I am working with an unknown act without any press clippings… that is my own band. Sure we are trying as much as possible [...]

Well, some serious ‘grats are in order for Reel Dames 2008 organizers Aimée van Drimmelen and Hosay Breau; this year featured an array of accesible, oft enchanting, oft wunder-ful films from a plethora of walks and visions. And an additional ‘grats to Hosay who missed the evening due to the arrival [...]

There’s a buzz goin’ on about the Reel Dames Film Festival. A plethora of my friends have found ourselves pleasantly confounded by how we all independently decided this was what we were doing Wednesday night without consulting each other. TG great minds think alike. Yeehaw, as they say.
Our own Martin Reisch, aka *safe solvent, will [...]

Our Indyish Monthly Mess remains messy, and is especially tricksy when we convert a non-venue into a venue for one night, but it always seems to manage a magic, diversity and glow that I love in it’s every manifestation.
This month, Feb 29 2008, we returned to the private loft Studio 300 for some class, [...]

The Demaes are playing right now, after showing their new video for the first time (hopefully it will find it’s way on here soon, it’s ADORABLE!). Oh man, this band is really fun. This blog post is going to be similar to the stream-of-consciousness (and no spell check) of the Fringe/Osheaga days, so enjoy.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hi folks,
I’m off on a quest! Today is the day I slay the beast of self doubt and pluck the beating gem of a heart from the scaly, green chest and carry it back to my kingdom of smut. Behold! The zine maker admits to a world beyond scissors and glue sticks, staples and photocopiers.
