A special interview with Rough Trade’s Geoff Travis

and Jeannette Lee

Jeannette Lee R o u g h T R a d e

Jeannette Lee is the co-owner of Rough Trade, the hugely influential independent label that has released the Libertines, The Strokes, Antony and the Johnsons and many more in recent years. Rough Trade became well known in the 80s as the home of The Smiths, around the same time that Jeannette Lee was touring the world with the post-punk band Public Image Ltd. After meeting John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) while working at Acme Attractions, the punk store and social hub, Lee first managed – and then joined – Public Image Ltd. She was instrumental in the band’s penchant for live multimedia, leading to what we can call “extended audience participation” at the infamous “riot at the Ritz”

show in 1981 in New York. Jeannette Lee joined Geoff Travis at Rough Trade in 1987 and has had stints managing the Cranberries, Pulp and Duffy. Lee’s musical sense and straightforward approach with artists has been instrumental in Rough Trade signing and releasing an incredible catalogue of successes over the last ten years. The special celebrity interview at Music & Media 2012 is honored to welcome Jeannette Lee and her colleague and Rough Trade founder, Geoff Travis, to the stage. Delegates will get the chance to hear their personal stories, the story of one of the most culturally significant independent labels, and Jeannette and Geoff’s approach to the business in 2012.

Geoff Travis R o u g h T R a d e

Geoff Travis is the softly spoken music obsessive. It has been said that he is about as far from the standard stereotype of the record-industry hustler as could be imagined but his long journey with legendary independent imprint, Rough Trade, tells of an exceptional ability to manage, promote, distribute – and create – while treading a truly unique path. Geoff and Rough Trade offer a remarkable tale, born in the aftershock of punk and reborn in the new millennium with bands like the Libertines, The Strokes, Arcade Fire and Antony and the Johnsons. Rough Trade came to popular attention with the Smiths in the early 80s, having grown out of the trailblazing independent record store Travis first opened in 1975. The label was a fierce alternative left wing voice during the “cultural destruction” of the Thatcher years in the UK. Rough Trade embraced the DIY scene, electro, reggae, alternative acts like Cabaret Voltaire and Scritti Politti, and then, with The Smiths at the vanguard, Rough Trade was the dawn of indie music as we know it today. Rumour has it the Geoff is the subject of The Smiths’ “Frankly Mr.

Shankly.” What we know for sure is that, from releasing Inflammable Material to managing Pulp, Geoff Travis has been an architect and curator of adventurous, alternative culture, and brought incredible music to the world, from The Smiths to Belle & Sebastian, from The Fall to Duffy. Geoff Travis will be joined on stage at Music and Media Finland 2012 by Jeannette Lee, with whom he has been in and out of administration in the 90s, and in and out of a New York Jersey dive bar in the 2000s. They survived the former to rebuild Rough Trade and its ethos. And they survived the later by coming out with the Strokes and arguably reimagining the landscape of popular music. Geoff and Jeannette are the subject of this year’s special joint celebrity interview.

As his own subdivision in the marketing department, Michel is responsible for booking and organizing the +30 events that FM4 hosts per year, as well as for the co-ordination of various others which FM4 co-operates on.
