Behind the Bar - Rum Bar Records (documentary)


It's no secret that Rum Bar Records is my favorite record label — by a very wide margin. So it's a very cool thing that Snag Keith has produced and directed Behind the Bar - Rum Bar Records, a short documentary film about this world-renowned label. In less than 13 minutes, you'll get to know Malibu Lou and find out everything you wanted to know about Rum Bar Records (but were afraid to ask). If you're a Rum Bar fan like me and want an insider's perspective on this label, you'll get the scoop straight from Lou, Lisa, and some of the musicians who are part of the Rum Bar family. How did the label get its name? Is there actually a rum bar? How does Lou find the time to do everything he does? What's it like being a Rum Bar recording artist? Tune in and find out! This is a beautifully-done little film that packs a whole lot of substance into just a few minutes of content. If you've never had the pleasure to speak with Lou, this documentary is a very accurate representation of what it's like! He's one of one, and Behind the Bar is essential viewing for anyone who loves this label or has a passion for the independent music scene.
