As singer and guitarist for the band 500$Fine, Gary Llama got his start making music in the 1990s Richmond, VA punk scene.
Following the passing of 500’s bassist and close friend Patrick Daly, Gary founded OVOLR! to release the final recordings of 500$fine. He also began recording solo work, and by 2000, had recorded and released ‘Silence Is Suicide’, a blueprint for what would go on to be decades of solo releases.
In 2011, Gary began releasing books via the label, first of his mixed media artworks, then of his essays as well.
He has since released over 20 books through the label, and over 70 recordings.
