Photographer Antonia Tricarico chronicles the fascinating history of Inner Ear – the D.C. recording studio responsible for some of the most iconic DC punk bands in The Inner Ear of Don Zientara: A Half Century of Recording in One of America’s Most Innovative Studios, Through the Voices of Musicians. Tape OP says this photo-filled oral history “gives us a wonderful glimpse into who Don is, and what has made his Inner Ear Recording Studios one of the most culturally-important places to make records in the US. We hear about sessions with Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Bikini Kill, Foo Fighters, The Dismemberment Plan, and so many others.” Tricarico will be joined by Don Zientara, himself, along with Fugazi member Joe Lally to discuss this iconic period of music history.
