“I like giving everybody something to rally around,” says Ryan Lewis, Kindercore Records co-owner and Owl Scooters design marketing employee (who’s also Marquee’s very own Action 5! columnist).

Lewis has plenty of experience in bringing people together.

In 1996, Lewis founded Kindercore with business partner Dan Geller. The label was not just about records, but about shows for the bands. But since Kindercore’s resurrection a few years ago - following a brief hiatus - Lewis says he hadn’t put on any shows like the legendary parties of yore.
