Well, hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of The Final Guide. This week on the show,

we are celebrating 20 years of Ipecac Records, the record label, in part led by Mike Patton,

whom you likely know as vocalist and frontman of bands like Faith No More, Mr. Bungle,

Phantamas, Tomahawk, and probably a dozen or so other projects. Well, the Ipac record label was founded in 1999 by Mike and his good friend Greg Workman.

And after releasing some of Mike's music and a few Melvin's albums, the record label has really taken off from there.

Now, it's been an eventful 20 years, and today Greg is going to talk to us about the label,

the early days, the rare records in their history, what it takes to manage a record label in 2019,

and what may be next for some major projects on Ipecac.

Lots of Bungle talk on today's show.

So, fans of Mr. Bungle, you'll probably get some new nuggets of

info and hope for the future. So let's keep Ipacac going for the next 20 years. Head over to

Ipecac.com. Grab a few albums, some vinyl, some new and interesting bands, possibly some old ones, too.

Give them some love at Ipecac.com and if you have any love left over you are cordially

invited to my birthday party yep that's right I'm turning 50 in June and it just so happens

that Danko Jones is here in Sydney Saturday June 1st so. So God damn it, let's make it a party.

If you're in Sydney or can at least get there on Saturday, June 1st, meet us over at the

Crowbar in Leichhard. That's in Sydney's inner west on Parramatta Road. A whole mob of us

will be there, including Danko Jones and crew. You're welcome to join us, grab some beers, hang out.

Danka will be there signing his records, and any other Sydney surprise guests who happened to be

there at the crowbar that night, well, you'll get to hang out there too. So you don't need to bring

a gift just yourself. However, you'll want to secure a ticket to the Danko Jones show that night,

as we'll be going back and forth throughout the evening.
