Poptones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poptones is a record label launched by Alan McGee after the demise of Creation Records in 1999. Named after a Public Image Limited song, it is seen as something of a return to the staunchly independent roots of Creation. Most notably, Poptones launched the career of The Hives in the UK and its roster includes psychedelic DJ Cherrystones, ex-Beta Band member Steve Mason's King Biscuit Time , The Icarus Line's sister project Souls She Said, Sailboats are White, Viking Moses and spacey-folk act The Singleman Affair. McGee runs the weekly nights Death Disco (Wednesdays) and Now We're Off To Rehab (Fridays) in central London.
