The Windish Agency would like to take a moment to congratulate Gotye on his chart-topping accomplishments as of late. Since his release of “Somebody That I Used To Know” back in July 2011, Gotye has been blazing charts worldwide. The song topped the Australian charts for an astounding eight weeks straight, the U.K. Singles Chart for five weeks, and was number one in 18 other countries as well. In the U.S., the song has been a true crossover hit, reaching the top spot on the Alternative Songs and Rock Songs charts, in addition to the Billboard Hot 100. Gotye’s hit song is the first by an Australian solo male to hit number one in the US since Rick Springfield released “Jesse’s Girl" 31 years ago.

If you missed Gotye on his last trip through the U.S., be sure to stand by for details on his extensive fall tour as he hits around 50 venues across the country.

In conjunction with the fourth annual Northside Festival in Brooklyn, The Windish Agency is teaming with L Magazine to present a party of our own!

We invite you to join us on Saturday, June 16 from 6:00 pm to midnight at Brooklyn Bowl. The night will include live performances by Asobi Seksu, Exitmusic, Ape School and Field Mouse. The event offers free admission to Northside Festival badge holders, but for those just looking for some Windish fun, tickets are now available at Ticketfly for only $10.

See you in Brooklyn!

Nominees for the 30th annual APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) Music Awards were announced today, and Windish artists received acknowledgement in three major categories. Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" has been inescapable since last fall, so it's no surprise it received a nod for the coveted APRA Song of the Year, as well as the Most Played Australian Work award. Previous APRA nominee Art Vs Science has also walked away with another nomination this year for the track "Finally See Our Way" as Dance Work of the Year. The APRA Music Awards will be held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre on Monday, May 28th. For a full list of nominations, visit the official APRA Music Awards site.

Just last month, Swedish artists Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John, and Miike Snow announced that they had joined forces to create a new powerhouse label, Ingrid. Born to bolster a space for unadulterated creativity, the collective did not waste time with their first production.

On April 21 (and in honor of Record Store Day), the label released Ingrid Volym 1, a compilation of work from all of its members. Each of the 15 tracks can be streamed now at their SoundCloud.

This Friday, April 27, Ingrid invites you to celebrate with them at The Bowery Hotel in New York from 7:00 - 11:00 pm. As unique as its creators, the night with Ingrid will include live performances, Ingmar Bergman screenings and their new beverage concoction, Ingrid Drink. To RSVP, email rsvp@ingrd.com.

We hope you'll join in the festivities!
