Suivant les traces des premiers labels punk américains des années 80 tels que SST, Dischord et Alternative Tentacles, Kill Rock Stars était dans les années 90 le label référence de la scène musicale d'Olympia dans l'état de Washington et le label à l'origine du mouvement Riot Grrrl. Slim Moon déménage à Olympia a 18 ans et tombe, dans une galerie d'art, sur un spectacle de Spoken Word de Jesse Bernstein, époustouflé, il commence à en écrire et à en jouer. Il s'implique , alors, fortement dans la scène musicale locale. Il joue dans un tas de groupes différents, notamment dans le groupe de rock expérimental Witchypoo dans lequel il rencontre Tinuviel Sampson. Il décide de créer, avec elle, un label dans le but de sortir les enregistrements de Spoken Word de leurs amis. Moon en s'inspirant des labels comme Touch and Go, Dischord mais aussi K Records, souhaite diriger sa maison de disque d'une manière juste et respectueuse pour les artistes. « Wordcore Volume 1 » devient, en 91, la première sortie de Kill Rock Stars. Le disque comprend un poème de Kathleen Hanna de Bikini Kill en face A et des morceaux de Spoken Word de Slim Moon en face B. La même année, Moon revoit sa position de ne sortir que des enregistrements de Spoken Word après avoir vu le premier concert d'Unwound, et sort leur premier single. En août 91, Calvin Johnson et Candice Pederson, du label K Records, organisent, à Olympia, un festival de musique indé appelé Internationale Pop Underground Convention. Son but est de réunir des groupes avec les mêmes valeurs « Do It Yourself » et anticapitalistes, et de prôner l'indépendance artistique. Fugazi, Built To Spill, The Fastbacks ou les Melvins s'y produisent. La première soirée nommée Love Rock Revolution Girl Style Now est entièrement consacrée aux groupes féminins punks et queercore comme Bikini Kill, Heaven To Besty ou Bratmobile. Le magazine Spin parle même de la convention comme du vrai Woodstock des années 90. Olympia apparaît pour la première fois, sur la carte des scènes qui comptent. Pour l'occasion, Slim Moon sort la première compilation de Kill Rock Stars. Elle instaure déjà la ligne de conduite qui sera la caractéristique du label : autant d'hommes que de femmes. Une mixité qui sera la ligne politique de Kill Rock Stars jusqu'au départ de Moon en 2006. Bien que le label n'ait jamais été affilié à un genre ou un mouvement musical particulier, Kill Rock Stars sera toujours lié aux groupes Riot Grrrl des années 90, comme Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Huggy Bear, Heavens to Betsy et Excuse 17 qu'il n'a jamais cessé de promouvoir. Le partenariat le plus fructueux de l'histoire du label a sans doute été son association avec Elliott Smith. Le succès de Smith a inauguré une nouvelle ère chez Kill Rock Stars. Au cours de la décennie suivante, le label a adopté une palette sonore plus large qui s'est de plus en plus appuyée sur des musiciens inspirés du folk rock comme The Decemberists et Thao Nguyen. Le label sortait parfois plus de 50 albums par an, un chiffre bien supérieur à celles des autres maisons de disques de l'époque. Un rythme effréné qui épuisera Moon. En 2006, il annonce alors son départ de Kill Rock Stars pour travailler chez Nonesuch Records, une filiale de Warner Music. Sa femme Portia Sabin, prendra la direction du label jusqu'à son retour en 2019. Connu pour ses sorties importantes de groupes Riot Grrrl, Kill Rock Stars est un modèle de label indépendant et à travers son intégrité, il est devenu l'une des maisons de disques les plus influentes de la musique indépendante.

Episode #183 : In the few weeks since our last episode, COVID19 has changed the world and how we interact with one another, and that has had many impacts upon the music business as a whole. With venues and record stores closed to the public for the foreseeable future, musicians are having to find new ways to interact with their fans, and because of the quarantine, most of those interactions are happening virtually. To help with this transition to a digital-only reality, the teams at Facebook and Instagram are rolling out new products and initiatives to help musicians and their fans establish new types of relationships that will work in the new paradigm faced by us all. In this episode, we revisit a public conversation between Portia Sabin, Perry Bashkoff (Instagram) and Mayola Charles (Facebook) that was part of a MusicBiz Live! webinar that occured on April 6, 2020.

What really happens when a blockchain skeptic and a blockchain supporter talk to each other about solving music industry problems? At the October 2019 Music Tectonics Conference, we hosted a Blockchain Cage Match with three skeptics and three enthusiasts facing off in wrestling masks and capes. Podcast host and conference organizer Dmitri Vietze saw too many events where entrepreneurs and engineers were touting the benefits of blockchain on stage, while music industry veterans snickered at the back of the room. He wanted to bring the factions together instead of having separate conversations. Though the cage match was fun, it didn’t quite turn out the way we’d hoped.  So Dmitri invited two of the panelists to a Blockchain Peace Summit, and you get to listen in. On the skeptic side is Portia Sabin, President of the Music Business Association and host of the Future of What podcast. And coming in on the supporter side is Ken Umezaki, CEO of Verifi Media, a rights data management company that uses blockchain, and President of Digital Daruma, a music tech investment company. Portia and Ken examine the roots of the music industry’s . . . less than thrilled reaction to blockchain evangelism. What have we learned about blockchain since the heady hype of “Crypto Summer” a few years ago? What other tech solutions have both Portia and Ken excited about the future of the music industry, and what’s the missing piece that would change the data landscape in the music biz for good?

This week, Ryan is joined by Dr. Portia Sabin, former longtime president of indie label Kill Rock Stars and current president of the Music Business Association, to discuss the CASE Act of 2019. The CASE Act would significantly affect US copyright law for indie artists by creating a voluntary small claims dispute resolution forum for copyright lawsuits, potentially providing creators with a more efficient means to protect their works. Dr. Sabin provides her perspective on the CASE Act and gives some excellent advice to indie artists along the way.
