Although both Black and Wyatt had slowly ingrained themselves into the local music scene, the idea of opening their own record label was more of a happy accident than a thoroughly mulled-over plan. In fact, the idea began with local filmmaker and musician Mike McCarthy, who Wyatt had come to know through their work with the coalition to save the Mid-South Coliseum. “Mike had this record in the can—the Fingers Like Saturn record—which I guess was from about ten years ago. So he came to me and said ‘Robert, you ought to start a record label.’ I knew Dennis might be interested, so I told Mike that if we were to do it, I didn’t want to do just one record. I also told him that he should do it with us and be the label’s art director. That part appealed to him,” Wyatt says with a laugh.
