Scott Ritcher

Scott Ritcher (born September 27, 1969) is an American magazine publisher, graphic designer, musician, and politician from Louisville, Kentucky.

Ritcher is the publisher of K Composite Magazine and runs a small publishing house, also called K Composite. The magazine contains interviews of his friends and other people who are not famous. The publication has been featured in Rolling Stone, the Chicago Tribune, and on NPR's Talk of the Nation.[citation needed]

Ritcher is the former proprietor of the Slamdek Record Company, which released early recordings by influential punk and indie rock bands, including Endpoint, Rodan, Jawbox, and Ritcher's own bands, Sunspring and Metroschifter. The label's first release was a cassette tape by the synthesizer band Pink Aftershock in 1986, and its last was a Sunspring retrospective CD in 1995. Slamdek pressed 44 different records during its nine years in business.

Sunspring reunited on May 14, 2010, to play a benefit concert for Jason Noble of Rodan and Rachel's.

Ritcher's first solo album, Scott Ritcher, was released in 1999. Nashville Geographic followed in 2001. In 2016, he issued the EP Simple Orbits and his latest, The Kentuckian, came out in 2019.

Discography

In 1998, Ritcher entered politics as the Reform Party's candidate for Mayor of Louisville. Though he spent only $1,000 on the campaign, Ritcher had a respectable showing at the polls and finished third of four candidates.[citation needed]

Ritcher announced his candidacy in early 2008 as an independent candidate for Kentucky Senate from District 35. A controversial lawsuit brought by the Democratic incumbent, Denise Harper Angel, eventually disqualified Ritcher from the race.
