In today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast, Thom and Andrew continue the conversation with Elemental Records creator Jon Boldt. This Podcast, being part 2, picks up where Episode 22 left off: Elemental Records had moved to Eugene, signed Floater and was on their way to blowing up. Jon tells the story of how Sonic X-Plosion came about, giving credit to Steve Woodward for the idea of having a contest to choose bands. Jon talks about signing Henry’s Child and the controversy around bringing a band into the fold that already had a following and a CD. Jon has a great conversation about “role reversal” where the Label-guy is acting like a rock-star and the band is all business. We end this conversation about the music business and what Jon’s been up to since selling the label back in 1999. This was a fun Podcast for anyone who is a fan of Northwest music.

Episode 23: Jon Boldt &  Elemental Records, Part 2

In today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast, Thom and Andrew sit down with Elemental Records creator Jon Boldt. Jon Boldt ended up signing Henry’s Child to Elemental Records after they won the first Sonic X-Plosion in 1996. From then on, Jon has remained friends with the band and is considered part of the Henry’s Child family. In this first of two parts, Jon talks about the birth of Elemental Records. This all came from a genuine love of music that Jon demonstrated by being an independent show promoter in Portland. This led to getting introduced to several up-and-coming bands in the Pacific Northwest and putting out the compilation “Northwest Ungrunge”. Just a few months later, the Jollymon record “Sailing” was released and Elemental was on its way to blowing up. Jon moved the record company from Portland to Eugene, which seemed like a counter-intuitive idea at the time but ended up benefiting the label in the long run. Listen to how a series of meetings about distribution with the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies manager led to a long-time alliance that shaped a good portion of the Eugene music scene in the 90’s. Enjoy this first of two parts of the Northwest (and Eugene staple) Elemental Records’ history.
