Stray Recods

[Indra]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone (Travis?) might know whatever became of this label, it seems that one minute they were around and releasing cool stuff (Somewhere Over the Slaughterhouse, the No Forcefield albums, etc.) and the next they were gone.  

Anyone have the scoop on what the heck happened to \'em?

Well, I guess I would have to say that if you want to be a success, running a small independent label should not be your first choice.

that would depend on your definition of success.  i would say "if you want an easy path to success, running a small independent label should not be your first choice"

[Travis]

Well I think in Strays case, its selling enough records to pay the bills...wait, thats mine too.

[gkg]

i hear that.  sometimes one has to keep several fires burning (read - have a few \'second\' jobs) to keep the dream alive.  other times... well... there just aren\'t always enough second jobs to be had.

stray records put out some pretty dope stuff as well as swotsh. there main output was in 2000 and 2001  before them closing..
