Ishi Tishi and their Evening With All The Animals at Suoni

Interview by Stephan Boissonneault

In all of my years of music journalism, I’ve had some weird interviews, but this quick little email q+a with Ishi Tishi, a newer weirdo pop/ surf three-piece made up of artists Ingrid Wissink, Jackie Gallant, and Chantal Allard, is up there.

Sometimes you’re at a loss for words when describing your own music or beginnings, or sometimes you want to stir the pot. Regardless, Ishi Tishi is presenting a rock opera called An Evening With Animals All The Animals at Suoni Per Il Popolo. When we asked them about it, they responded with emojis. Well-crafted or curated emojis? Who is to say?
