Being on top of business, making sure everything is running smoothly, coordinating meetings - it’s all stuff I have to remind myself every day to stay on top of. Part of it is that I want to kind of step up to the plate and treat this like a job. Yeah, I don’t even have a manager or anything, just a booking agent. I didn’t anticipate that strong of a response, but I’m really glad it happened, and I’m excited to keep making art now.Īnd in addition to gaining so many fans, it’s also incredible how much press you’ve been getting without any help from a publicist. Sidney Gish: It was definitely just really lucky. Violet Foulk: So, how does it feel to have been getting so much attention for No Dogs Allowed so quickly? In advance of her appearance at Great Scott in Allston this Thursday (September 27), we chatted about her lucky streak, staying in control, and what we can expect from her next. Earlier this month, before it was revealed she was nominated for a quartet of 2018 Boston Music Awards (Unsigned Artist of the Year Alt/Indie Artist of the Year Song of the Year, for “Not but For You, Bunny” and Album/EP of the Year, for No Dogs Allowed), Gish found time to meet with Vanyaland after class on a rainy Boston afternoon. In just a few short months, Gish found herself on summer tours with Camp Cope and Petal, and then with Mitski. The college student quietly dropped her sophomore LP, No Dogs Allowed, on New Year’s Eve and hit the road for her internship in New York, where she didn’t expect to see her own music streaming in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist or picked up by press outlets like Pitchfork and The Fader.

If you’ve been on the internet at all this past year, you’ve probably at least heard of Sidney Gish.
