Rainer Fronz (Learning Curve Records)

SPB: Besides music, what other arts interest you?

Fronz: Besides releasing records with Leaning Curve Records and searching the internet/basement shows for new dirgey bands, I have some other things I like and love.

First off as far as a huge interest and effort go to my kid. She is the best thing ever. I love hanging and playing with her on a daily basis. She is very interested in listening to music and experimenting with instruments. It is amazing to watch her grow and develop her mind right in front of us.

I am also an avid gardener. I love planting vegetables and flowers and watching them grow. It is very peaceful to watch plants go thru their life process. It is also very satisfying to enjoy the fruits of your labor all summer and fall.

Things that are not music but the same breed of obsession include comics (mainly Marvel) and baseball. Go, Twins.

That pretty much sums up the life of Rainer!
