Bio for President, Liz Cousins

Liz jokes she was practically born into music. From an early age her sister would take her along to punk shows in L.A. When she'd like something, she'd rock out. When she didn't, she'd hide behind her sister's hair. Since then she has worked as:

-Clerk at Tower Records, Anaheim, CA (1993-1995)
-Music Director for College station KLBC (Long Beach, CA)
-College Rep
for EMI Music, CA (1994-1997)
-Interned for Mercury Records, CA (1994-1995)
-Personal Assistant to Danny Elfman, CA (1995-1997)
-Promoter for rave club Magic Wednesdays, CA (1996-1997)
-College/Specialty Radio for Ignition Records, NYC (1997-1998)
-College/Specialty/Tertiary Radio for Tommy Boy, NYC (1998-2002)

Once Tommy Boy went out of business in 2002, Liz took a long, hard look at what she wanted to do. The result? Notorious Radio. Helping bands when they need help the MOST, and giving them the same brand of attention she gave the bands at the labels.

She now lives and works in Astoria, NYC with her husband Daniel (who built this site) and two cats Flakey and Elian. She is an avid fan of the WNBA (Go Liberty!), a member of the Astoria CSA and has a HUGE passion for cooking. Her heroes include Hunter S. Thompson (RIP) and Tony H. Wilson (RIP).
