MADISON MUSIC FOUNDRY presents “PLUGGED-IN”-Student Jams, Musician Networking, Workshops

Mike Olson really has his shit together. A longtime fixture in the Midwest hardcore scene-playing in bands like Defacto Oppression and Weaving The Deathbag-Olson still plays and also owns and operates 24/7 Rehearsal Studios, Blast House Studios, and the Madison Music Foundry. It's fair to ask, why is this hardcore punk guy posing as a responsible, thoughtful business owner? But at the same time, it's easy to wonder why this responsible, thoughtful business owner has a picture of himself hanging from a rope in his underwear up in his office. Olson quickly answers that his businesses-like the Foundry, which offers music lessons, the Rock Workshop for kids (and soon adults), and the new Plugged In monthly series of local music-business demos, student jams, and educational workshops-are designed to foster a positive network for local musicians. "At the end of the day, if we have a good music scene in Madison, then my business will be healthy too." And then he'll correct you, "That's not underwear. That's a diaper." - Ben Munson, Onion AV Club
