Listen "Feeding the Senses - Episode 30 - Mike Dickinson: Owner of Chicken Ranch Records"
Episode Synopsis
Chicken Ranch Records was founded by Mike Dickinson in Ruston, LA in 1994. The label's initial purpose was to release albums by the Habitual Sex Offenders, a sarcastic punk rock combo he was drumming for."We basically just wanted to put out a record with our name on it," Dickinson says. "Then it became a real label."Dickinson first moved to Austin in 1996 but lived in Nashville from 2000 to 2004. It was there that he discovered the Clutters, a Farfisa-fueled garage rock quartet that's become one of Chicken Ranch's flagship acts along with Georgia-bred garage stalwarts the Woggles. The label's also tapped local bands like Jesus Christ Superfly and Automusik. Chicken Ranch's aesthetic has expanded to include Mr. Lewis & the Funeral 5's 21st century cabaret, as well as the gothic bluegrass soundscapes of Starlings, TN."I tend to gravitate toward eclectic music," Dickinson says. "I like bands that aren't afraid to do their own thing."https://store.chickenranchrecords.com/Host - Trey Mitchelltreymitchellphotography IG and FBfeeding_the_senses_unsensored on IG and FBFor Sponsorship Information or Questions - [email protected] Song - Damien HorneTake It From Me @damienhorne
