At the wildly liberal college Pavitt immersed himself in the local scene, working at the campus radio station, KAOS, and as an intern at OP magazine, while claiming to earn a degree in punk rock from the college.
Pavitt's idea of forming an independent label to empower the local bands was starting to take shape and later the same year, with local promoter Jonathan Poneman enlisted as co-partner, Sub Pop officially released its first album, Green River's Dry As A Bone EP.
Pavitt used the publicity and capitol to strengthen his label and, always concerned about local scenes, began signing bands outside of the Seattle area such as D.C's Velocity Girl and the Afghan Whigs from Cincinnati.

Bruce Pavitt became a media darling in the early '90s when the label he founded, Sub Pop Records, was accredited with starting the "Seattle Sound" and launching the careers of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Tad among others.

Pavitt says he is offering his stake in the company to Warner Music, which already controls 49 percent of Sub Pop.

When Poneman heard about Pavitt's e-mail, he expressed interest in Pavitt's share of Sub Pop Ltd. Pavitt and Poneman share ownership of Sub Pop Ltd., which owns 51 percent of the company.

 triple cycle theory articles       q magazine august 1992
By virtue of its regional isolation, Seattle needed the ballyhoo treatment, and Pavitt and Poneman, both driven by a combination of die-hard enthusiasm and sharp business acumen, have been the right men for the job.
Their initial spur, according to Pavitt, the more reserved, bearded half of the pair, was the fact that Seattle was a big city with a fertile music/arts scene that was ignored by an American media fixated on Los Angeles and New York.
But it wasn't until Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil introduced Pavitt to Poneman, who'd relocated from Ohio, "to live like a hippy," but had would up working in retail, radio, and concert promotion, that the label starting mining the Northwestern backyard that has since come up trumps for them.

In 1986, Pavitt moved himself to Seattle and released Sub Pop’s first LP, a compilation entitled Sub Pop 100.
Later that same year, Pavitt met Midwest transplant Jonathan Poneman at a mattress store and the two agreed to jointly release the debut EP from Soundgarden, Screaming Life.
(It should also be noted that it was around this time that Pavitt began growing a beard and Poneman finally dropped his fake British accent.) The next few years were a whirlwind of artfully blurred photographs, beer stains on colored vinyl, and the seduction of the British music press.

 The Mouse that set Loose the Lion (KAOS 89.3)by Timothy Radar for Buzz Art and Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
By researching these releases it became apparent to some (Pavitt, Foster) that a type of decentralized cultural network was forming underneath the radar of the mainstream press, and even below the scope of big city magazines that had a certain level of hipness (Slash, New York Rocker).
To Pavitt it was obvious that KAOS and Evergreen were unique institutions with very progressive policies.
Soon Pavitt had become a full-fledged KAOS DJ with a show that focused on mainly new wave and punk artists.

 Being There
During this time Pavitt was also writing a regular column for a local music paper called the Rocket and worked as a DJ at Seattle's KCMU.
By their willingness to change with the ever mercurial popular music scene and by placing their focus on the always prolific Pacific Northwest, Sub Pop has outstayed many of their indie label contemporaries and continues to grow and change into a future as full of possibility as it is uncertainty.
Though Pavitt has now turned over most of the day to day responsibility to his partner, Poneman, his fanzine-to-label transition and ultimate success is a story of hope and perseverance to all those struggling in the DIY world of independent music.
