The Beakers had had some great underground success based on the strength of only one single, the Bill Reiflin produced Red Towel b/w Football Season Is In Full Swing. Many of them collaborate off and on up til this day. A cadre of musicians, filmmakers, early video artists, writers, activists, idealists and excessively talented and motivated individuals emerged from the college. Later alum include Bill Hagerty (aka Macklemore of Ryan Lewis and Macklemore) and the pro-Palestinian advocate and martyr Rachel Corrie. TESC, as it’s often known was at the time a free-wheeling liberal arts college that pushed students to express their social and artistic endeavors to the maximum.Īs well as Fisk and Foster, the college produced well-known graduates like Bruce Pavitt ( Sub Pop) Matt Groening ( The Simpsons) artist/cartoonist Lynda Barry ( Ernie Pook’s Comeek, the illustrated novel The Good Times are Killing Me as well as the iconic image “ Poodle with a Mohawk“). Both were early champions of the local scene, and had been students at The Evergreen State College just outside Olympia. Other contributors to the early Olympia scene-and later contributors to the overall NW music scene- included DJ/editor/musician John Foster and the alarmingly underappreciated producer Steve Fisk. The band that would become 3 Swimmers rose out of the ashes of The Beakers-probably the first Olympia WA band that made the town the musical gravitational force it has become today.
