Frank Black Launches Record Label
The Pixies man looking for the \"the next big new sexy thing\"
Black has named his label The Bureau and as well as releasing his own future music, the labels' first releases will come from Jeremy Dubs and former Captain Beefheart collaborator Eric Drew Feldman, according to the Guardian
Black said of the label: "I wasn't planning to start up my own record label, but I hope I get invited to some really intense high-end parties." He also said that he originally set up the label to release his own music as "more traditional record companies find it a little overwhelming that I come up with another record every nine months."
"Running a label today isn't that different than at any other time. There's less money floating around, but I think it's a good thing. I think it's more honest. It just puts the pressure on everybody to be good. Some of these record companies need to just stop f***ing around and being such asses."
The label won't be responsible for future releases by The Pixies, though.
"Pixies will either do something really traditional, with a big old record company, or something a lot more radical. Hopefully the radical approach. But the Bureau has other things on its plate."
