JEFF WELLIKOFF JOINS INFIDEL
Running the radio station at Boston University as Program Director, Jeff got to know the people at Rykodisc. They offered him an internship in the A+R department where he worked on the Galaxie 500 box set and releases by Throwing Muses, Bob Mould, Medeski, Martin and Wood and Guster. He moved to New York in 1999 where he joined music publishing giant EMI, then worked under Marshall Chess at ARC Music. At ARC, he put together the retrospectives for songwriters Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and Bobby Charles. Writing, playing and recording music all the while, he played in bands in Boston and Western Massachusetts before relocating to Los Angeles where he and Terry Borden (Pete Yorn, Idaho, Lusk) recorded and played shows as the By and By. Lindsay Lohan spilled a drink on him at Teddy's on Hollywood Blvd. His passion for recording led him to Hot Pie Music, a Pasadena studio owned by Jerry Di Rienzi (Cell, Ugly Beauty) and Mark Lewis (West Indian Girl), best known for recording Cass McCombs, Zach de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine), Flight of the Concords and John Cale. At Hot Pie, Jeff worked on Jerry's recordings as well as his own band, whose songs which were licensed to MTV's The Hills.
