He fronts a burgeoning new six-piece rock band,\u00a0<strong>One for the Team<\/strong>, in addition to\u00a0<strong>Aneuretical<\/strong>, the power trio he formed while still attending Benilde-St. Margaret High School in St. Louis Park. And he has a music website,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/slivermagazine.com\/\">SliverMagazine.com<\/a>, which is sort of a younger answer to the already youthful\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pitchforkmedia.com\/\">PitchforkMedia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention he&#8217;s in his senior year at St. Olaf College and is editor of its newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never really been comfortable with downtime,&#8221; Anderson said with a laugh, after I told him how much I hate him.<\/p>\n<p>Talking Monday night at the Normal Pub before a One for the Team gig, Anderson showed all the charm and none of the cockiness you&#8217;d expect of a wunderkind.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of going on at length about One for the Team &#8212; whose Death Cab-cut CD, &#8220;Good Boys Don&#8217;t Make Noise,&#8221; is one of this year&#8217;s most raved-about local debuts&#8211;he talked up many of the other acts on his Afternoon Records. There&#8217;s the\u00a0<strong>God Damn Doo Wop Band<\/strong>, of course, who were the one act on the label with an established following before Anderson signed them. The others, including the\u00a0<strong>Squareshooters<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Superdanger<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>Plagiarists<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Look Down<\/strong>, essentially got their first leg-up from Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like working with young bands,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;re a lot more eager and not at all jaded, but I also get attracted to their potential. If a band like Look Down is good at 18, imagine how good they&#8217;ll be at 25.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Afternoon&#8217;s latest release &#8212; &#8220;Sparkle Dust Fantasy&#8221; by boy\/girl electro-punk band the\u00a0<strong>Battle Royale<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; comes from a group of Minneapolis Southwest High students. Anderson booked their CD release show Sunday at the Triple Rock, and he&#8217;s using One for the Team&#8217;s rising name to lead some support (as openers).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ian does a lot more for these bands than you can ever really expect from a small label,&#8221; said\u00a0<strong>Erik Funk, Dillinger Four<\/strong>guitarist and owner of the Triple Rock, where Anderson also sometimes works behind the bar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the busiest man in the show business,&#8221; Funk added. &#8220;He&#8217;d probably do better narrowing, focusing a little bit on the things he does best, but the truth is he really does pull most of it off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anderson and some friends dreamt up Afternoon Records while waiting in line for a\u00a0<strong>Cursive<\/strong>\u00a0CD-release show in 2003 in Omaha (home to indie label extraordinaire Saddle Creek).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were telling the other kids about our bands, and they were like, &#8216;Do you have a label? What&#8217;s it called?'&#8221; he recounted.<\/p>\n<p>The name was thought up on the spot, taken from a\u00a0<strong>Les Savy Fav<\/strong>\u00a0song, and the first release by the short-lived\u00a0<strong>Genepicks<\/strong>came out a few months later.<\/p>\n<p>Selling 500 copies of a CD was a big thing at first, but many of Afternoon&#8217;s releases have gone up to a couple thousand over the past year, Anderson said. He credits online connections such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/\">MySpace.com<\/a>\u00a0and the fact that the bands can tour (easier to do once you graduate from high school). One for the Team even earned a blurb when it played in New York from the Village Voice, which faintly praised their &#8220;squecky-clean indie-rock.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;ll take anything,&#8221; Anderson said, &#8220;so long as I can tell my mom I got written up in the Village Voice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mom also seems to be the primary reason Anderson is taking his studies at St. Olaf seriously. But he doesn&#8217;t dismiss the idea of balancing a real job &#8212; probably as an English teacher &#8212; with running the label and playing in his bands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I could pull it off,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Would anybody really doubt him?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Riemenschneider<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spohn Award Recipients: Paul Dillon and Kristen Rau AWP Discovered Voices Award\u00a0(Sponsored by\u00a0Iron Horse Literary Review):\u00a0Josh Kalscheur &#8217;07 &#8211;\u00a0Poetry,\u00a0Adam Lozeau &#8217;08 &#8211;\u00a0Fiction,\u00a0Tim Rehborg &#8217;08 &#8211;\u00a0Nonfiction Brett Defries &#8217;08\u00a0has had his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1073","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1073\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
