Scenic: Mojave Desert Music From 1992

Aaron Gilbreath’s comprehensive article and interview with IPR’s Bruce Licher covers the musician and designer's early days at UCLA, his life-long musical output, the creation of Independent Project Press, releasing other bands on his Independent Project Records label, and much more! The deep dive was triggered by a Scenic 7" single:

“When I bought The Kelso Run for $5, I had no idea that band-leader Bruce Licher is one of the most respected letterpress artists in the world. I only knew his guitar work from Savage Republic. Although Scenic had formed in 1992, the ideas and experience that led to its creation date back to the late 1970s, as the second wave of punk rock was splintering in interesting artistic directions.”
