Kyle Gustafson moved to D.C. in the summer of 2004 after seven years in New York City. He spent his time in the shadow of the
Evil Empire slaving away in the music industry, working on projects with artists like
R.E.M.,
Beck,
William Orbit and
Beth Orton as well as movies like
Fight Club and
School of Rock.
Tired of being paid in CD's and concert tickets, he decided he needed a
change and eventually ended up in D.C. He now works in e-media and has
no regrets about giving up his rock and roll lifestyle. He served as
co-sports editor of
Gothamist in early 2004 before becoming a founding member of DCist later in the year. Born in Massachusettes (Go
Sox!), he grew up in North Carolina and calls the
Cackalack
his home, NASCAR be damned. He graduated from East Carolina many moons
ago, where he was a club DJ as well as music director of the campus
radio station. He spends most of his spare time updating
his own blog and uploading
concert photos and
pictures of his cat to
his Flickr account.
