Stephen Rose

I spent a good portion of my life devoted to music. I was in a variety of concert and swing choirs during my High School years. In college I took music classes and played in my band, “The Hostage Flamingos”. Later I progressed to writing music and concert reviews for several independent newspapers and zines in Chicago. Even though my current career is not music focused, it is still a passion of mine that helps me to find balance in my day.

I grew up in Chicago during the 80’s and 90’s and saw many of the local bands from Naked Raygun and Cheap Trick to Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair during those years as well as working at the Riveria which was a key live music venue and nightclub. I spent several years in Cincinnati, Ohio hanging with members of Live Skull, The Afghan Wigs and Adrian Belew. Then I headed to the music mecca of LA and finally to Seattle where I now reside and help friends and colleagues find new music.

He loves film and television, and is a huge SCI-FI fan with Star Trek and Star Wars being particular favourites. The first record Peter ever bought was Adam & the Ants - King of the Wild Frontier, and so began a broad passion for music that continues to evolve to this day, with favorite bands and artists including the likes of Joy Division, New Order, and David Bowie, to name a few.
