Shimmy Disc is an American independent record label founded in 1987 by Kramer. It served as an outlet for artists such as Dogbowl, Bongwater, Lida Husik, Daniel Johnston and Kramer's own solo and collaborative work.[1] The label became defunct in 1998 after Kramer's legal suit with Ann Magnuson dried up most of his finances.[2]
