Risa and I have had the chance to cover a lot more then just the Fringe this year. We’ve met with some great Toronto minds, schemed some exciting new collaborations, worked on the upcoming Mega Mess at Sala Rossa on August 9th, experienced a rooftop mini-jam and reading, and met wonderful creative minds. And met [...]

If you were listening to CBC Montreal yesterday you heard Risa talking about craft sales, and I believe she mentioned this one in particular. It’s Hotcakes!

Heyyy artist, are you going to be selling your goods at Hotcakes? Use the comments to let Indyish readers know!

A few days back my good friend Risa and I were having a conversation about receiving assistance from the business community for our projects. Yep, we were talking about “corporate sponsorship” - something usually frowned upon in the DIY and indie communities (Or is it? - I’m not sure… maybe I frowned upon it at [...]

After spending a day roaming the very busy Expozine (more on that later), I headed down to St-Henri to see how things were going at this month’s Monthly Mess hotspot. Although I had been there before, leaving the comfort and familiarity of Mile End was a bit of a challenge on such a cold night. [...]

Yes, we love to welcome new artists to the stupendous ship of fools we call Indyish. We know the muchness and madness here can be confusing, so I figured I’d breakdown membership for you in a nutshell, arright?

Still relishing in the glory that was Indyish’s first birthday — and Monthly Mess V — I thought it might be time to introduce my little (but rather tall) self and tell the tale of how Indyish and I came to coexist.
Once upon a Montreal Fringe Festival, I was browsing Craigslist ads at work (the [...]

On Day 7 of the Fringe, More or Les showed up at Green Room to invite people up on the stage and have some Hip Hop Karaoke fun. What did we learn from that night? That people don’t seem to quite realize just how fast those lyrics fly by and that rapping is HARD!
P.S. Look [...]

Marilis has got some early pics up on her Flickr account, here’s my shameless favorite, showing the 3 gents from Parlour - Louis Jackson, Chris Dancel, Alex Cooper (usually with Zakir Jafry) performing (they rock), and Tessa peeking out over the top, and me making a ridiculous face in the background. Marilis has created an [...]

Yesterday I had a practice with my Brave Radar buddie Conor at our jam space near Parc metro. We’re getting much closer to being ready to play sxsw, which is comforting. A lot of the practice was spent figuring out logistics, like plane tickets, passports, accomodations, show times…all of which are still up in the [...]
