With me today is Dylan Magierek who twenty years ago founded Badman Records. Over that time they’ve put out a whole lot of albums including Starfucker (STRFKR) My Morning Jacket and many others.
They’re having a twenty-year anniversary celebration at Doug Fir Lounge on Saturday, June 30 featuring three Badman bands: The Builders and the Butchers, N. Lannon and TENTS.
Dylan is also a recording engineer, among other things, and one of the partners in the Type Foundry recording studio.
