  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd
    Roots radical – Place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepreneurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study. Keywords: entrepreneurship; social construction; punk rock; paradox; marginality; periphery Special thanks are due to all the punks and skins who have engaged with my reading of the Rancid story, and given me so much support and feedback along the way, especially Rancid’s drummer, Branden Steineckert, Jesse from Machete Manufacturing, Kostis, Tassos (Rancid Punx Athens Crew) and Panayiotis.

  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

  • “Operación Triunfo”
    “OPERACIÓN TRIUNFO” “OPERACIÓN TRIUNFO” was an audience record-breaking reality TV show which succeeded in Spain for the three months it was on. Participants were young wannabe pop stars who competed to represent Spain in the Eurovision song contest. The programme began screening in Autumn 2001 and the 16 elected members went through the watchful eye of the TV cameras. They lived in a place they called the “academy”. They had singing and dancing lessons, Spanish and English lessons, and drama. They even had a psychologist to help them cope with the stress a singer has to learn to live with. Viewers decided every week who had to leave the academy until the last six winners remained. They became national heroes: Rosa She comes from Granada (Andalucía) in southern Spain. David Bisbal He comes from Almería (Andalucía) also in southern Spain. Y2K Special Issue - 12 David Bustamante He is the youngest of the group and comes from San Vicente de la Barquera, a little fishing village in our province, CANTABRIA. He dropped out of school at 16 and was working as a bricklayer when he joined the TV programme. Chenoa She was born in Argentina but came to live in Spain as a little child and has lived in Palma de Mallorca most of her life. Her real name is Laura, but everybody calls her CHENOA, which means “white cloud” in native American language. Y2K Special Issue - 13 Manu Tenorio He comes from Seville (Andalucía), also in the south. He has beautiful blue eyes and speaks Spanish with a very southern accent which many people find very attractive.
