Pitch-a-tent
records was started by the members of Camper Van Beethoven in 1985. The
label was closed when cvb disbanded in 1990. In 1994 Velena Vego and
myself (David Lowery) decided to resurrect the label. For the next few
(frustrating) years the label existed as an "imprint" of virgin records, and
Caroline, releasing records by Sticky, the Seymores, and Lauren
Hoffman. In 1999 pitch-a-tent wound up its contract with virgin records,
and we are now completely independent again. We hope that we can now put out
records at a much faster pace than we could under our old distribution arrangement.
Also we are very excited about all the technological advancements that have
happened with music and the Internet. It reminds me of the early days of indie
rock and college radio. Right now we are just winging it, we've got all kinds
of wacky ideas, some of which may work and some of which may fail, so feel free
to contact us with your comments. |
