Dan Hand of Underground Operations / Music Management
Produced by Shane Macaulay
We’ve talked about having Dan on for months, and after a bit of time off for Johnny & Shaner, we finally sat down with Dan Hand of Underground Operations and other music management positions he has and is, taking on.
We discuss probably one of the most successful DIY indie punk labels for it’s time and Dan’s job working with Mark Spicoluk of Closet Monster and how this label became a fan favourite. We’re talking bands like Protest the Hero, Hostage Life, Abandon All Ships, Dead Letter Dept., Diemonds, I Hate Sally and more! Find out how Dan ended up at The Junos, and touring across Europe.
We also dive into the original Dungeon days in Oshawa, the OntarioPunk scene and other bands such as Facade, Mugshot, Spinecracker, Lucky Number Seven, and so-on. Speaking of… anyone remember Price to Pay? I think we’ll get the twins on one day.
How did we all go from school and make our way into the music scene, and say in the music scene 25+ years later? All that AND more!
