Thursday Edition
Sometimes, on a Friday afternoon, you just have to throw caution
to the wind and drink that 2+ year old can of diet root beer. Moot Beer.
Hailing from the Mid-Western State of Wisconsin. Jason Gnewikow has designed more merch for rock shows than Bob Pollard has written rock anthems. Tee shirts and buttons that still remind us of the good times. As the guitarist and art director of The Promise Ring, Jason exploited the elaborate fold, creating all the band’s music packaging. Davey wrote all the lyrics and Jason placed all the type. Jade Tree Records was his springboard, hiring Jason to design cover art for Joan of Arc, Jets to Brazil and others. Jason now lives in New York. --Drew Neujahr, Slowtron

Western State is an ongoing series of documentaries. Each examines an artist who approaches his work in a non-traditional way. The artists featured are difficult to categorize. Technology and media foster a rich, multidisciplinary approach. Western State, describes this culture of creativity through personal and engaging profiles of many of its leading practitioners.
The series is made by Slowtron, an LA based directing team. Slowtron is Eric Helin and Andrew Neujahr. Contact us here.
