About Ethan

Ethan Kanat grew up in Oakland, CA, right around the corner from legendary rapper and pimp Sir Too $hort. He went to five different colleges in as many years, majoring in Comparative Literature and Renaissance Art History, with a minor in sensual body massage. He has lived in Oregon, New York, Italy, Morocco and Saint-Tropez.
Ethan now runs an indie record label called Tough Customer and curates an online list of cool punk band names at AwesomeAndDisgusting.blogspot.com. In his spare time he likes to grill meat, drink bourbon and watch movies about the apocalypse.
