Asian Man Records is 30 in 2026. Founded in 1996 by Mike Park, the label is throwing a 4-night showcase celebration at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco Sept. 2-5. (The venue is notably closing later this year.)

The lineup is still to be announced, but tickets will be limited. Over the past 3+ decades, Asian Man has released material from Alkaline Trio, Joyce Manor, AJJ, Bomb the Music Industry!, Lemuria, Lawrence Arms and more.

A book about the label's history, Elvis is Dead, I'm Still Alive,  is slated for release soon, written by Mike Huguenor.
