Production details

Former guitarist and vocalist of Beat Happening, founder of legendary underground label K Records, and often cited as a major player in the beginning of the modern independent music movement, Calvin Johnson comes to Chapter to perform an exclusive set. Johnson’s work in underground culture started as a teenage fan volunteering at the local community radio station, KAOS-FM . He moved on to writing for fanzines, organising events and playing music in various bands. In 1993 he founded Dub Narcotic, a recording studio in which he has documented the work of acts such as Mirah, The Blow, Built to Spill, Make-Up and Little Wings. It has also been the incubator of many Calvin experiments in collaboration and self-expression, such as Beat Happening, Halo Benders and Dub Narcotic Sound System.
