No Life Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No Life Records was an American record label founded by Chuck Arnold in Boston, MA in 1992. The label released records by bands such as The Jesus Lizard, Bunnygrunt, Beatnik Filmstars, Pest 5000 and Nerdy Girl, before folding in 1997.
No Life Records was also the name of Arnold's record store, in Los Angeles, CA which Arnold co-owned with Dave Sanford, now owner of the Spectre Entertainment Group. The store opened on April 2, 1995, with three bands playing in-store. The store was somewhat legendary for these in-store performances, with around 15 bands per month playing in the store, among them such indie rock luminaries as Sleater-Kinney, Elliott Smith (both playing their first L.A. shows), Fuck, Momus and the Dandy Warhols. This was not to last, however, as the store closed on April 27, 1998.
