Mistina has recently put together a Record Label Collective.. maybe not a new concept, but a really neat one and the first in Portland. Read more about it below the flyer!
You love the Prids, and seeing how they've been delighting Portland for over a decade now, we agree with you. But guys, did you know that they run their own label, This-A-Way records? Well, with three of the best bands on the label gathering, this showcase is the best way to learn all about it.... thank you Willamette Week!
A great write up from The Mercury here.
I like the word "collective"--especially when it's preceded by "art," or "music," or "recording" (but not when succeeded by the word "soul"). Say it with me: "Collective." Feels good, eh?
For the past 15 years Mistina Keith has stuck to her DIY ethos with Portland's The Prids. So it's not the least bit surprising that the bassist/vocalist has started her own record label. This-a-Way Records is actually a recording collective (say it again; enjoy) that includes The Prids along with fellow Portland bands LookBook (pictured below), Soft Tags and We Miss the Earth. Essentially Keith has surrounded herself with a creative gang--musicians, screen-printers, bookers, producers, etc.--all hell-bent in helping bands get their music out, regardless of genre.
