so I was thinking about starting a collective, but what's the point other than being a jerk if you start one when there already is a good one around town. basically a musician "record label" collective where we all contribute skillz. for example, I can build websites and provide childish exclamations (poop!!!@!@!@WTF?!#@%!!). Stuff like that. Someone else can help record. Someone else can help book shows.

Anybody know of any? all the ones I find on the interwebz are long dead or the bands broke up already or something.

Why can't Phoenix have an Elephant 6 collective of its own???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Actually, I'd think the shizz itself kind of opperates as a collective, some parts stronger/tighter then others.
I'd also say galleries like Trunk Space also opperate as a defacto collective too, w/ individuals contributing what they want/can to the group.

Granted, I think the shizz team has a diff aesthetic then Elephant 6, but I also believe that depending on the contributions from the collective, it has the strength to produce (as in "help the creation of" not specifically "produce" like in the "Issac Hayes way") some really diverse music). Unfortunately, I find the diff' genres don't tend to mix willingly in any music scene, unless their is a strong friendship apart from the music styles prefered.

Emperors of Japan

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

I believe the shizz comps are pretty much a prime example of how the shizz is already a collective. I was pretty involved on the first one. I know a lot of the bands helped record each other or performed on each others recordings, etc. I don't know how much the 2nd one was like that , as I moved away. :(

Of course, this helping each other record was before the days of affordable home recording. Nowadays your grandma can bust out her macbook and record your band's demo on the cheap. Nana's got skillz.
