Garage, rockabilly, surf, punk, exotica label originally based in Burbank, California, founded at the end of 1983 by artist. The label started as label as an extension of a cassette-only label run out of the Roads to Moscow record store in Tucson, Arizona, 1981-83. In 1984, Lee moved to Los Angeles and, with the help of Suzy and artist at BOMP!, established the Dionysus Records label. In 2013, the label relocated to Joshua Tree, CA. Their warehouse location was changed in late 2018.
Circa 1992, most vinyl lacquers for Dionysus Records (including sublabels Bacchus Archives, Orange Sky, and Hell Yeah) were cut at label in Culver City, CA, by artist, where the mastering and lacquer cutting facilities are often referred to as label or HRS Studios. Pressing was handled by Alberti Record Manufacturing Company, then label, and now primarily by label. Some releases may have been pressed at label (eventually purchased by United), label, or label. After relocating to Joshua Tree, all process steps were handled by label.
