LIVER PARTY.

'I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.' - William Blake

A multidisciplinary artist collective. But what's the point?

The "point" is that as this decade progresses it is becoming more and more difficult to operate within the current music industry infrastructure of streaming and merchandising through means of exploiting cheap labor. It is our mission to create an external system through which we can create substantial art through truly ethical and egalitarian means... it is our promise to adhere to these values as much as we reasonably able to. That being said, we do recognize the fundamental utility streaming apps and websites provide, and how it is unavoidable for those wishing to acrue an audience. So... don't be surprised when the artists here make those decisions for themselves.
We are dedicated to sincerity, eclecticism, egalitarianism, and experimentation.
We are open to and enthusiastic about all different kinds of music, but are mostly interested in:

  • "Art Music"
  • Punk (Post-, Hardcore, Rock, any of it)
  • Indie Rock and other adjacent music that takes a DIY approach to pop and rock
  • Experimental music of all stripes
  • Jazz, Classical, and regional music such as Gamelan, the Indian Raga, Mande Music of Africa, et cetera.
    • We are also interested in Marxism / Leftist political thought, post-modern philosophy, all kinds of literature (poetry, novels, non-fiction), film, comics, internet culture, and much more. Our specific influences can be found on the Liver List (itself inspired by the Nurse With Wound list).

    THE PAST, THE FUTURE
    Liver Party is going to be different now. It will still be as egalitarian, as eclectic, as free as possible. But it will not be as exclusive, as closed off from the world of the rest of DIY: it will no longer exist in opposition to those other labels and collectives, but rather, alongside, in direct support of, et cetera. This will no longer be "The thing for weirdos and outsiders ONLY". I want to foster an actual community. I want to help young people. I want to be a force of good and positivity in the world in general...(Read more)
