  • 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.

  • Melissa Etheridge
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 1, 2010 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS MELISSA ETHERIDGE LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, AUGUST 20 Coquitlam, BC – Celebrating the release of her new album, Fearless Love, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge is gearing up for her summer tour which will take her to Europe and across North America. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, Etheridge first picked up a guitar at the age of eight and began playing in local bands during her teens. After completing high school, she was accepted as a student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music but left after only one year to make her way as a performer in Los Angeles. Her bluesy vocal style and riveting stage presence quickly earned her a strong following. Her hits – including “Bring Me Some Water,” “Ain’t It Heavy,” “I’m the Only One,” “Come to My Window,” “I Want to Come Over,” “Angels Would Fall,” “I Run for Life” and “I Need to Wake Up” – have rewarded her with five Platinum albums, a pair of Grammy Awards, a Juno Award and an Academy Award for “Best Original Song” from the 2006 documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth. Just this past April, Fearless Love – her tenth studio album – was released arriving two years after her autobiographical The Awakening and six years after her battle with breast cancer. At this point, her accomplishments are endless and well-documented. This has allowed her to find herself in the enviable position of being able to make exactly the music she hears in her head and feels in her heart … that music embodies much of what we’ve come to anticipate from Etheridge – giant, soaring melodies, her bold, expressive voice, plenty of musical, lyrical and emotional drama – and it also embraces a freshness with the appearance of mandolin and more piano along with guest vocals from Joss Stone and Natasha Bedingfield.
