Perishable Records

[3] Perishable's recording studio initially was a renovated first-floor apartment in Chicago, and musicians recorded to 2-inch analog audiotape before moving on to processing using the digital audio workstation ProTools.

[1] In 2002, the label lost some of its flagship acts - The Fire Show had broken up, and Fruit Bats had signed with Sub Pop - and Massarella and Rutili openly talked about potentially winding down its operation.

[5] However, by 2003, the label was operating out of an erstwhile elementary school in the Pilsen neighborhood, where the group had also outfitted a studio it dubbed Clava.

[7] Some artists on the label include Califone, HiM, Joan of Arc, oRSo, Red Red Meat, Loftus, The Fire Show, Sin Ropas, and Fruit Bats.
