Joe Carducci

Joe Carducci is a writer, record producer, and former A&R executive, formerly most closely associated with the influential record label SST Records.

He was born in Merced, California in 1955 but grew up in Naperville, Illinois. He also lived for a time in Chicago in the late 1970's where he ran an independent mail-order record retailer. From 1981 to 1986 he was an A&R man, record producer, and co-owner of SST Records, working with, among other bands, the Minutemen, Saint Vitus, the Meat Puppets, Black Flag and Saccharine Trust.

He wrote lyrics for the song "Jesus & Tequila" by the Minutemen ("Double Nickels on the Dime", 1984) and "Chinese Firedrill" from Mike Watt's 1995 solo album "Ball-Hog or Tugboat?". He now resides in Centennial, Wyoming, where he runs Redoubt Press and O&O Recordings. Carducci is probably best known as the author of Rock and the Pop Narcotic.

Carducci wrote the screenplays for the 1998 films "Rock and Roll Punk" and "Bullet On A Wire", and has other script projects in the works. Carducci has also been known to contribute to bimonthly rock periodical Arthur the Aardvark.

In 2007, Carducci published "", which contained his reflections on his time at SST Records and the life and death of former SST photographer Naomi Petersen.
