Who knew “inter-galactic indie domination” would be headquartered in Canada?
The founders of the Yellow Bird Project, two recent college grads from Montreal, did.
The Project creates and sells indie band t-shirts—think New Pornographers and Devendra Banhart– and gives the proceeds to charities. They call it indie philanthropy.
Their newest venture: a coloring book.
Illustrator Andy Miller channeled the bands’ music as he doodled black and white cartoons for the Indie Rock Coloring Book.
Bon Iver’s page features a cabin in the woods, snow-capped mountains and magic water. MGMT gets a playground with a slide, ladder and periscope that stretch out like tongues doing yoga poses.
Matt Berninger, lead singer of Brooklyn band The National, is a fan of the book.
“This is the greatest coloring book since coloring was invented,” he said according to the YBP Web site. “I’ve decided to have kids just so I’ll have somebody to give this book to.”
