Good Clean Fun vocalist Issa has announced the creation of a new label, Saturday Team, with long-time friend Ken Olden. Issa recently explained the idea and motivation behind it:
I've done various music-business related things over the years…from recording, to producing, and sometimes even putting out records. This has left me with a bunch of recording equipment, some great memories of working with some really cool bands, and a closet full of records.Over the past couple years I have been working on artist development along with Ken Olden ( Battery, Damnation A.D.). This means that instead of our studio being open to the public, we have just concentrated on working with a select few artists and helping them get signed. Along the way we realized that we had all these great artists and it didn't make sense to sign them away to other labels. That's when we decided to start a label of our own. D.I.Y.! A few more established artists have signed on to the label along the way, and things kind of snowballed. The label is called The Saturday Team, and our first few records come out in March/April this year.
One of the label's first releases will be a benefit compilation for Peter Young, an animal rights activist currently imprisoned in California. Good Clean Fun will be contributing a track to the album, along with 24 other bands. You can find more information at the Saturday Team MySpace Page.
