Ok, so Sanawon is an indie-pop band from Chicago with Jenny Choi, who's a musician tied to the whole Asian Man Records family.
And Sanawon's latest record came out on Jeff from BTMI!'s Quote Unquote Records.
To quote what's on sanawon.org:
“Jeff is the first person I ever knew to be ballsy enough to a) break up his already very successful ska punk band because it was getting annoying; and b) start over (and become uber successful again) using a totally new music business model based only on donations. I met him on tour in Cleveland several years ago when he had just started this second band (called Bomb the Music Industry!), and he and his hoodrat friends didn’t have a place to play in Chicago the next day.
So I let him play in the basement of my house. He spray painted a cassette tape on one of the walls. Then he wrote a song about it that inevitably put the name of my band somewhere on the map of smelly heavily tattooed teenager boys.”
So Sanawon put on a show in Chicago for BTMI! and Jeff/BTMI! wrote a song saying how grateful he was for meeting Sanawon. Nice.
