I was debating what I would call the artists who elected to come with me on this adventure. Record labels have a "stable" of artists...like they were showponies. Certain artistic endeavors take place within or with the assistance of a "collective"...somehow that really doesn't seem to fit. While the idea of community is a huge part of our overall mission, calling our artists a "community" is kind of vague in a way that doesn't capture the essence of what we're about.
Recently, it hit me like a ton of bricks: Family
Tyrannosaurus Records will be a family of artists. All the same in that we want music-lovers to have a place to go to find great local independent music, all different in the ways we choose to express ourselves. We may not always see everything the same way, but we will always have a level of respect for one another, and for what we are all building together, that will supercede any preconceptions of what makes great art, or great music.
Everyone in this family has seen the power of music, the power of art. We all know what it looks like from the summit of that mountain, and we all know what it takes to climb it. We are all here to help each other scale it--we are all here to see the world from above...
...together.
We're a family.
We can't wait for you to join us...
