Influences:
Chainsaw started as a fanzine around 1988.
I made the fanzine as a kind of tool to help me find other freaky people like myself.
I had always wanted to be part of an underground network of freaks, queers, radical thinkers and artists.
I made chainsaw as a way to introduce myself to the ones I read about in fanzines around the world (and to girls at shows).
Around 1991 i found myself in Washington DC with a box of 500 throwaway cassettes.
I decided the best use for them was to make a compilation cassette of all my favorite bands and people of the time. I mostly gave them away or sold them for food money when i was on tour with fifth column.
When i moved back to Olympia i got encouragement from my good friend Gary to start a label with my current job. I put out an authorized bootleg and then the frumpies 7" and from then on i was a label.
I’m proud of every single chainsaw release. All these records are special to me. I’m inspired by the artists who create the music. I’ve always said the reason why i put out the records by the bands i do is because i really want my very own copy to listen to.
