Top 5 of 2011: Frankie B
Frankie B is a total hassle… He does Campfire Island (this website). You can find out more about this nerd in the “About The Show” part of Campfire Island.
… I would just like to say how super appreciative I am of everyone giving me “Top 5″ lists this year! Here’s mine …
Top 5 of 2011: Ginger Alford
Ginger Alford is the super rad person that is 1/3 of the super awesome band, GOOD LUCK. So there. She sings half of everything, I suppose, and plays bass. Ginger was also in the band, ONE REASON – and her new band is TRAVELING. Once, her and Paul Baribeau got toured together playing only BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN covers. Awesome.
… after lunching with Ginger in Tampa, I assume that she always travels and lives life with an entourage of groovy Bloomington-ites – shouldn’t we all?
Top 5 of 2011: Todd Congelliere
Todd Congelliere is the head honcho at Recess Records. He also keeps a lot of musical projects going: THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TO CANDYLAND, TOYS THAT KILL, STONED AT HEART, and he plays stuff under his own name, too. These projects are super-powered by adding Jimmy on drums and Cha Chi on about everything else.
… Todd is some wild force of nature, for sure. He’s super great and easy going – but like some weird spirit making crazy fun things happen …
Top 5 of 2011: Mariella Luz
Mariella Luz is the longtime general manager of K records. She’s also the founder of the Olympia All Ages project, which operated the Northern venue in downtown Olympia. With the success of their recent kickstarter project, they’re still doing shows and looking for a new venue space.
… Mariella’s really cool because she gets things done – like BIG things! She’s really wonderfully un-hippy-ish too, which is fresh air in a town like Olympia …
Top 5 of 2011: Lucas Andrews
Lucas Andrews plays guitar and sings in Know Your Saints, a band out of Oakland, CA. He does graphic design work for albums, t-shirts and funerals as A Flight of Yesterdays. His band’s latest release is the Landmarks EP (La Escalera Records & Solidarity Recordings).
Lucas been a huge contributor to Campfire Island and it couldn’t be awesome without his help.

Matt has a long history of booking shows, playing in bands, and putting out more international music than most American underground record labels. He also is an awesome repeat guest on our weekly radio show.
… a super sincere and hardworking guy. I dig Matt. We connect over a bit of Touch and Go meets Dischord sound, which is the type bands of that his labels been putting out for years …
Top 5 of 2011: Kris Cunningham
Kris Cunningham is the drummer for WESTERN HYMN. He’s been in a number of bands, most recently, Nudity with Dave Harvey. He also tattoos at Lit Fuse in Olympia, WA. A new project Kris is involved with is CRAIG EXTINE AND THE EXILES..
… having Kris on the radio show this September was super awesome. Like making an instant friend. Now I just need to save some tattoo money …

Top 5 of 2011: Matt Murillo
Matt Murillo has a new daughter named Ruby Mae! HOORAY!!! But he also plays guitar and sings in THE MAXINES and THE JETTYCATS. He is one cool Texas cat with a garage rock sound. Matt and Kelly (also of The Maxines) were recently interviewed by Nardwaur – which was funny and weird.
… I pretty much accosted Matt in downtown Olympia and just said hello – in a really non-Olympia way – to tell him that the Maxines are awesome. I figured he could handle it ’cause he’s from Texas …
Top 5 of 2011: Nicole Kibert
Nicole Kibert showing up is the sign of being at something worthwhile. You’ll find her up front – camera in hand – flashing a big smile. Her pictures can be found at ELAWGRRL – her photo site. She shoots SO MANY bands, but her favorites are xhardcorex!
… the fun of being places with Nicole is that she’s ALWAYS excited about whatever is happening, whatever there is to see, and whereever there is to go …
Top 5 of 2011: Matt Sweeting
Matt Sweeting is the guy who’s been boxing your records from No Idea for over 10 years. Part of his persistent involvement in the Gainesville scene. He makes magic happen in all kinds of ways by playing in bands (TUBERS, STRIKEFORCE DIABLO, ASSHOLE PARADE, UTILITY).
Matt set up shows for a long time, both the awesome shows and the “give a band a chance” shows, at both the Hardback Cafe and the Utility House before that. He also co-founded Wayward Council, which never would have happened without him.
… I’ve known Matt a long time, and I clearly remember him talking to me about the importance of people making the commitment to stay in a place over the long term in order to make things happen there …
Top 5 of 2011: Ben Trogdon
Ben Trogdon, is the drummer of WEIRD TV and more notoriously writes the fanzine NUTS! – which is on it’s 8th issue. Each time a new issue comes out, Ben stages an even more epic release party. The last one was in a huge burned out warehouse space and EVERY band in Olympia played.
… Ben is a super posi person. He’s always doing something cool and excited about what’s going on…
