Lawrence "Larry" Hayes (born October 28, 1947 in Detroit, Michigan), best known by the pseudonym Larry Livermore, is an American musician, record producer, music journalist, and author. He is best known as the co-founder of Lookout Records. ==Biography== In 1977 Hayes began to attend punk rock shows in the San Francisco bay area. He soon adopted the "punk rock name" "Larry Livermore," an allusion to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a nuclear research and development facility in Livermore, California, run by the University of California. He founded ''Lookout'' magazine, based in Laytonville, California, and continued to publish it until 1995. In 1985 he formed the Lookouts, a punk-rock band whose 12-year-old drummer, Tre Cool, later went on to play for Green Day.〔(Green Day gig preview )〕 The Lookouts recorded two LPs, ''One Planet One People'' and ''Spy Rock Road'', and two EPs, ''Mendocino Homeland'' and ''IV'', between 1985 and 1990, with Livermore playing guitar and singing. In 1987, with his friend David Hayes (no relation), he cofounded Lookout Records, which has released records by Operation Ivy, Green Day, Screeching Weasel, The Queers, and scores of other artists. Many of the bands on Lookout were associated with 924 Gilman Street, a nonprofit, volunteer-run punk-rock club based in Berkeley, California. David Hayes left the label at the end of 1989 to establish a label of his own, Very Small Records. Larry Livermore continued as president and principal owner of Lookout Records until he retired in 1997. In 1992, Livermore and Patrick Hynes formed the Potatomen, a pop band that has released two albums, ''Now'' and ''Iceland'', two EPs, ''On the Avenue'' and ''All My Yesterdays'', and a split EP, ''The Beautiful and Damned/The Day I Said Goodbye'', with the Canadian band cub. From 1987 until 1994, Livermore was a columnist for ''Maximum Rocknroll'' magazine, and from 1994 to 2007 wrote a monthly column for ''Punk Planet'' magazine. Livermore had a scene report column on Berkeley's punk zine Absolutely Zippo. He was also a contributor to the seminal queercore zine ''Homocore''. In 2008, quarterly periodical ''Verbicide magazine'' began publishing his column, titled "Beneath the BQE." Livermore's first column for ''Verbicide'' appears in issue 23. Livermore released his first book, Spy Rock Memories, on Don Giovanni Records in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Larry Livermore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
