Freedom From is a Minneapolis, Minnesota based record label which primarily focuses on the international noise underground genre. The label was founded in 1996 with its first official release by a San Francisco three-piece named Job. Up until early 1998, the labels focus was singularly cassettes, with the most well-known being the infamous Thurston Moore/Beck/Tom Surgal cassette. During the course of its primary existence, FF often released either the first or first widely available release by many bands, including Jason Lescalleet, Hair Police, Sightings, No Doctors, Milovan Srdenovic, Violent Ramp, Reynols and many more. Freedom From was also one of the first entities to book and promote shows nationally for experimental/weird bands from 2001-2004, including the first major tours for bands like Wolf Eyes, Sightings, No Doctors, Hair Police, Mammal, Nautical Almanac and more. Freedom From also helped bring to prominence the last years of the infamous Church venue in Minneapolis, bringing bands like Animal Collective, Coachwhips, Wolf Eyes, Numbers, 25 Suaves, Glass Candy, Chromatics and many more for their first ever shows in the Twin Cities area. Finally, Freedom From is also known for the De Stijl/Freedom From and End Times Festivals, bringing in artists like Tony Conrad, The Boredoms, XBXRX, NNCK, Gang Gang Dance, Zip Code Rapists, Borbetomags, Smegma, Burning Star Core, Devendra Banhart, Arthur Doyle and many more. Since 2006, the label has released very few releases, and has booked even fewer shows. However, 2012 has seen a significant increase in FF activities, and a bevy of new releases and shows are due for release in October, 2012. The label is maintained to this day by founder and CEO Matthew St-Germaine. Freedom From is best known for its eschewing of conventional record business tactics in favor of an absolute aestheticizing of experience. Freedom From's catalog includes a wildly diverse sampling of the fringes of artistic and sonic exploration. ==Artists== *Milovan Srdenovic *1/3 Octave Band *Volvox *Jackie O Motherfucker *Arctic Universe *Paul's Enemy is Bathing *Zip Code Rapists *Ova! *Happy Mother's Day I Can't Read *Cock ESP *Reynols *Wrong *Birchville Cat Motel *Yeoh Yin Pin *No Doctors *Sightings *Hair Police *Ashtray Navigations *late *Dr Gretchen's Musical Weightlifting Program *Remora *Vibracathedral Orchestra *Laundryroom Squelchers *Rexor *Kreamy 'Lectric Santa *Ut Zilko *Tom Ato *Armpit *Job *Lasse Marhaug *Kevin Drumm *Violent Ramp *Pimmon *Zartan *Carlos Giffoni *Brent Gutzeit *Stewart Walden *Two Cent Bitch *Zartan *Penny Needham *Sistrum *Creeping Jesus *The Ideal Gus *The Aesthetics *Moz *Ferocious Dopes *Ed Gray *Brian Lavelle *Inversion *Wagstaff *Energy Park *Smokehouse *CJA *White American *Diz Willis *Peachh *Mason Jones *David Means *Sandra Espinoza *Chatterland *Blur Cheer *Cherry Choke *Fukktron *Humectant Interruption *Expose Your Eyes *Noxagt *Bob Marinelli *Fredrik/Per Gisle/Lasse *Anopheline Entropy *Emil Hagstrom *Hiatus *Blatherskite *Unknown *Ed Gray *Meat Market *Bongo Bunny *She Camel of God *Monotract *Noctuary *K.O.H.N. *Schawami *Bad Sector *Quasi Sutro *Prick Decay *Alan Licht *Tamio Shiraishi *Courtis *Miguel Tomasin *Thurston Moore *Beck *Tom Surgal *Greg Kelley *Duncan Bruce *Lotus *III *Crank Sturgeon *ABNU *White Saucer w/ Lovely Midget + Guy *Gordo Bolomo *Valerio Tricoli *A Sonic Deterrent *Pencilneck *Neil Campbell *Witcyst *Charles Bascomb *Dr Ginger Whatsherface *Lugosi *Post Prandials *Destroy All Jazz *Amfitheatof *Flatline Construct *N/A *Julian Bradley *Feverdreams *Del *Eso Steel *Smell & Quim *Ut Zilko + His Amazing Zen Guitar *Giuseppe Ielasi *La Gloria *Harry Pussy *New Port *Lost in Translation *Evil Moisture *Jason Lescalleet *Jesse Petersen *200-year-old wolf pussy *La Gloria *Brutum Fulmen *Sarah Johnson *Mark Morgan *Rusted Shut 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freedom From」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
