Experiment: Band Management: Blog 16: Jessi Frick, Father/Daughter Records

Band Management: Blog 16: Father/Daughter Records So I had the great privilege to interview Jessi Frick of Father/Daughter Records this week. You don’t understand the significance of this label to me. I’ve always been into music, none-mainstream, punk, underground music, Velvet Underground – but about six-or-seven years ago I became obsessed with searching for the underground music scene of right now. I’d check out obscure staff picks in obscure music publications. Check out obscure musical recommendations from friends. These were bands like: The Pack AD, JAPANDROIDS, Sunflower Bean and Diet Cig. Diet Cig sing “fuck your Ivy League sweater” and I’m a faculty brat from Yale – so yeah: fuck your Ivy League sweater! And then I started to dig around to see how Diet Cig was managing to tour and sell their music. They were signed to Father/Daughter Records, which is Jessi Frick and her father! They’ve collected a fantastic group of mainly indie pop punk art punk women voices. I loved that Father/Daughter seemed to appear fully formed, had great traction with the music media, and were so supportive of their bands. So I used this interview series to contact Jessi – just because I have been curious for years about her label.
Back to my management of “Band A” – they are about to be played in another music market. I didn’t know getting on the radio was so easy. This is from XXXX:JP, thanks for contacting us.
