Question The AnswersChris Appelgren - Lookout Records, The Pattern, The Peechees, The Potatomen...This week, Andy is joined by Chris Appelgren. Chris took the reins at Lookout Records in 1997 after founder Larry Livermore decided he wanted to move on from the label. Â Having worked for the label for many years and doing artwork for many of the bands on the label, it seemed like a great opportunity.
