Saddle Creek Records is an Americanrecord label based inOmaha, Nebraska. Started as a college class project on entrepreneurship, the label was founded byMike Mogis and Justin Oberst in 1993 (asLumberjack Records). Mogis soon turned over his role in the company toRobb Nansel. The label is named after Saddle Creek Road, a major street which cuts through midtown Omaha and also the beginnings of a scene whose members included Justin's brotherConor Oberst (at the time a solo artist and now fromBright Eyes,Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band,Desaparecidos, andMonsters of Folk),Tim Kasher (then ofSlowdown Virginia, currently ofCursive andThe Good Life), and others. Collectively, they were known unofficially as the "Creekers". Saddle Creek first appeared in print on a show flyer, offering to "Spend an evening with Saddle Creek" (later to be the title of the label's DVD.)[1] Saddle Creek became an incorporated entity as a result of a class project on entrepreneurship. Distribution is handled byRedeye Distribution.[2]

SCR continues to be the flagship label of a style of music called "TheOmaha Sound", characterized by a slight country twang. It is increasingly inaccurate, though to reference it as such with the rise of more electronic sounds like those favored byThe Faint andBroken Spindles. The eclectic sounds of Saddle Creek's disparate member bands is somewhat explained by their history; a number of the original members of the label attended grade school together.[3] A "sister label" of sorts, to Saddle Creek isTeam Love which was begun byConor Oberst in 2004.

History

[edit]

The label opened its arms to the first bands on its roster not based in Omaha in 2001 with releases byNow It's Overhead andSorry About Dresden. Other artists not fromNebraska followed includingLos Angeles'Rilo Kiley,Eric Bachmann (formerly the leader ofArchers of Loaf fromChapel Hill, North Carolina andCrooked Fingers fromNorth Carolina),Georgie James (Washington D.C.),Two Gallants (San Francisco), and most recentlyTokyo Police Club (Toronto).[4]

In 2005,Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek, a documentary detailing the first ten years of the record label's history, was released. The DVD features extensive interviews with the Saddle Creek bands, archival footage, and rare live performances. On June 8, 2007, the label opened their own music venue namedSlowdown[5] (after the groupSlowdown Virginia) which is located in downtown Omaha.

The label's name was inspired partially by the A-side single ofPolecat's 1994-ismist Recordings release2500 Ft of Our Love, "Saddle Creek."[6]
