Here's some info (Part of.. Well most of, Indyish's press release!):



“We Made a Deal with the Devil & Indyish is 3 Years old!”
The next Indyish Monthly Mess is produced in partnership with Methinks Presents.
Place: 435 Beaubien West, Centre Chat Bleu, 4th floor [2 blocks west of Parc ave]
Date + Time: on Saturday August 15 8pm and Sunday August 16 from 4-6pm.

“We’re celebrating three years of independent artists coming together”, says Risa Dickens, co-founder of Indyish. “And what better way to do just that than partner with Methinks on their 16 stop art tour, and link it up with the crazy collaborative art + circus + boxing community we work with at the Chat Bleu!”

“METHINKS is bringing their traveling visual and performing art show, ‘We Made a Deal with the Devil’, to Montreal,” says Paul Aflalo, Indyish Producer “and we’re so excited to have them! Performing art antics and dozens of devil drawings and more!”

We Made a Deal with the Devil is a cultural expedition, touring art show, video project and tour blog – check it out at www.methinkspresents.org.

We’re going to have a remarkable show on Saturday August 15, with great performances from Nista (indie electro Swedes? Yes please: www.myspace.com/nistamus), Gypsy fire from Briga (www.myspace.com/briga123), and irony to make you dance your face off by Commodore84 (www.myspace.com/COM84A1) and Garbageface (www.myspace.com/garbagefacemusic), and a brand new collaboration between Franco Proietti (The Franco Proietti Morph-tet) and Brie Nielson (The Unsettlers) a Billie Holiday Tribute like you’ve never seen.

In addition, Rahul Varma the artistic director off Montreal’s celebrated Teesri Duniya theatre company – committed to “socially and politically relevant theatre that supports a multicultural vision of society” – will be presenting a special preview of his new production, ‘Truth and Treason,’ exclusively for our audiences. ‘Truth and Treason‘ takes place in Iraq and, in part, is about what could drive a person toward accepting a suicide mission, it is about the devil with whom we make deals in ourselves, and in our culture.
