End of an Era (1998 - 2011)

After 13 years of service to the Ska and Reggae Community in Winnipeg (and the world, really), Bacteria Buffet Records is closing shop.

I was first introduced to Bacteria Buffet Records and its owner, Rusty Far-I, years ago at my first Royal Winnipeg Porn Orchestra show at the West End Cultural Center. I was fresh to the scene and couldn't completely understand why the crowd was yelling "Butter My Corn!" or how the tuba player could both play his instrument and drink so much beer at the same time.

Needless to say, after that, I was hooked.

Bacteria Buffet gave many ska and reggae artist in Winnipeg a place to get their music out to the masses and to have a physical CD of their own to hold and hawk around to campus and community radio stations all around.

A big blow out event for Bacteria Buffet Records will be going down on Saturday, May 14th at the West End Cultural Center.

Thanks for all you did Rusty...
