We are ssssslowly easing back into the business of blog following the lovely quiet of the holidays over here at Indyish network headquarters.

The release of their new album, the one they just told us about, is tomorrow. You can download it and pre-order it [...]

Just 2 fun quick video bits to share, both Wilco related (ah, Wilco.) Jeff Tweedy at Wrigley Field singing Take me Out to the Ballgame, plus a new song performed at this year’s Lollapalooza.

Yesterday was an incredible birthday party for Indyish, our crazy legged indie arts network. The show, from my perspective, could not have gone better. The sound team from Sala Rossa did a beautiful job, I didn’t hear feedback all night, and the sound was warm and thunderously full dispite the ridiculous amount of complex instruments [...]

Did I mention we’re doing an Indyish Monthly Mess tomorrow at Sala Rossa? Well, this guitar god crooner with his lovely band is playing, ie’ Patrick Krief and Black Diamond Bay.
