Yep, those are our mugs on the cover of a newspaper! We love the Hour! Well, we haven’t actually seen the physical thing yet, because, coffee first, but we love this crazy picture and by magic of the internets we can read how Robyn Fadden put our words together and we likes it, and the [...]

Elran and I are being interviewed today for the special Hour issue on local Hitmakers coming out August 20th (yay!) So I woke up early busting with ideas and words and stories and thoughts about what all we could tell them, what messages to send out into newsprint land.
I am a buzzy fount of [...]

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!) I’ve mostly been working on the 3 day art and [...]

The web is pretty big, you might have noticed, and the code behind it that makes some sites more visible then others can be endlessly complex. This is why we made Indyish – to offer artists one space where they could easily collaborate with others to build visibility and following. One free space that we [...]

Check out the great article in today’s Gazette about the Remember Griffintown show! We’re proud to be a part of this beautiful event, helping out with gear and food and tent advice, things like that, plus our MonthlyMess show: a full day-into-late-night party on Saturday the 13th.

Watch for Indyish in local Montreal news this week, we’ll be popping up in the Hour and Mirror again (our local alternative weeklies) and in and around the radio, and on podcasts we love like Jeremy Morris’s for Midnight Poutine, and you can expect me to sound like a dinkus at some point somewhere. At [...]

I find it tricky to talk about work. You want to describe a project that you’ve been stewing in for weeks, if not years, to people who can range from close peers to the general public. How do you get across the essential bits in terms that make sense to most people? How do you [...]

This post is about inviting people to art events– openings, performances, readings– any art event. In fact, any event at all. A lot has been written about email marketing, but most of it is super PR person oriented, and a bit frightening. It feels wrong to approach the opening night of a play with a [...]

Lots of things don’t work when it comes to getting press, and I think I’ve tried a number of them. I have however had the opportunity to get a lot of great advice about press over the years, and the bits that work are worth remembering:
1. Make an event/project/happening that’s newsworthy and match your project [...]
