April/Schneeball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1976 four German musicgroups (Embryo, Missus Beastly, Sparifankal and Ton Steine Scherben) decided to found their own music label: April Records. They were supported by the already existing independent label Trikont.

In the following months some other groups joined April, so April decided to split into April 1 and April 2.

In the end of 1977 April was forced by CBS, owner of the label april-music, to rename to Schneeball - Vertrieb der Musiker (snowball - distribution of the musicians).
