So I’ve been an intern at Indyish for almost two months now, and it has been a really interesting experience so far. I initially approached Risa after seeing something about how she was looking for a marketing intern and I was intrigued because I checked out the website now and again and it just seemed [...]
It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the newest Indyish artist, the one and only and well-loved, Mr. Peru Dyer. You may also know him as :peru 143, and I think when you take a look at his work you’ll definitely recognize his style from the set at the Indyish / POP Montreal [...]
Hey so yes, as mentionned, I did end up taking on production for one of the Assembly Films. Tessa describes a bit of what I did in this post. I gave the script’s author, Sylvia Rich, a bit of a preview today so I figured I could sneakpeek one this way as well. I [...]
I got to partake in another Neil Young singalong yesterday (mostly Neil anyway) before heading over to the Lickety-Split issue 4 launch at Lambi. Here are some pics!
The singing was great, inspiring, fun - I feel like themed singalongs will be creeping their way into in our days more often. This is like medicine [...]
Pics of the crew! Assembly project manager Tessa Smith, Indyish staff and Assembly participant Tristan Brand, frequent music video producer and Indyish volunteer Martin Reisch, and Arts Community Developer for Indyish Maryanna Hardy all looking their fine and hard working selves at the post-meeting meeting we had yesterday at the Croissanterie on Ste. Catherine. More [...]
January 31rst: no the buzz wasn’t about a former boy band member’s appearance on our local mega stage (Justin who?), talk was all about the Guided by Voices tribute night at Main Hall. Well, at least for me. While Wolf Parade’s Dan and Hadji, and Secret Choir were forced to cancel, the night held a [...]
Ever been given sheet music and been told to use it to write a script? A strange request. But that’s the challenge we’re posing in Indyish’s latest project, The Assembly Film/Music Relay.
Alone or as a team you will be given a common starting point, the original sheet music for a song by a local musician. [...]
The Canadian boutique that started the trend of re-mixed clothing (which has more recently found itself filtered into Walmart-style chains in a production line uniformity-based rip) is looking for local artists who want free gallery space. Preloved has locations in Toronto and Vancouver and it’s Montreal store is a sweet little place on St. Laurent [...]
Alright, Christmas is over but the people who do it right should get to do it all year; check out this dear video made by Sylvan Lanken- who participated in the Indyish MVMC in August- with Lily Lanken and Genevieve Smith:
I saw Sylvan on the street today on my way to meet Tessa [...]
Hey! Look who’s on the cover of this week’s Montreal Mirror? Why, it’s Thunderheist. After seeing them play the Indyish/Pop Montreal Holla-Days party in December, I’m entirely sold. Their tracks on myspace are probably the best club hiphop I’ve heard recently and we were pumping them in the office and at home for weeks before [...]
