Kill Rock Stars (KRS), an independent record label which was founded in 1991 by Matthew "Slim" Moon and Tinuviel Sampson, was a reaction to the underground music scene of Olympia, WA in the early 90s. Moon and Sampson's effort to support local rock groups and spoken word artists through their label eventually played a major role in spawning the "riot grrrl" genre – a powerful movement for women in rock music that was a shoot off the "grunge" scene which was occurring at the time in Seattle. Although Moon claimed that he simply founded the label because no one else would bother putting out his friends' records, Kill Rock Stars went on to produce the work of many iconic 90s post-punk artists including Bikini Kill , Bratmobile , Sleater-Kinney , and Elliot Smith.

Additional Information

Nils Lofgren is an American rock musician, recording artists, and songwriter. Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, he trained in classical music and jazz, but switched to rock music as a teenager. At only 17, he formed the band Grin in 1968, and played in venues throughout D.C. Grin was ultimately unsuccessful, and Lofgren began what would be a rocky solo career, during which he released a well received debut album, but others that did not garner critical favor. In 1984, he joined Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and has continually played with them for tours and studio albums. He, along with the rest of the band, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. A&M released "Nils is Next" buttons in order to promote the release of his album Night After Night in 1977.

A volunteer is someone who gives their time to complete a task or series of ongoing activities for free.

The "I love" and "I heart" logos have become iconic in pop-culture and have been imitated in many forms around the world.

The original form of the "I heart" and "I love" logos was the I heart NY logo created in 1977 by Milton Glaser for an ad campaign created by advertising agency Wells Rich Greene. The marketing campaign was sought by then-Deputy Commissioner William S. Doyle to increase tourism in the state of New York. The campaign was a wild success. The original sketch of the logo is permanently on display at the MOMA.
