New pioneering label from Radiohead management

Brian Message, Radiohead’s manager, has established his own record label – Polyphonic – and under it artists will be allowed to retain their copyright.
Message has not yet released details, but it seems the company seeks to establish an emphasis on digitally distributed music, much like that of Radiohead’s 2007 record In Rainbows – an album for which fans could select a price to pay for its download. 


According to The Telegraph, the label is a joint venture between ATC, a company run by Message, and the management firms MAMA Group and Nettwerk Music Group.


In addition to retaining copyright, artists may get a 50 per cent share of profits – and that share may increase with success rates. 
The co-chief executive of MAMA Group, Adam Driscoll, said by way of explaining the basic principles of the label: “We will do whatever is most effective to get an artist noticed. Giving an album away for free may get one million people listening to a new artist.”
No acts have yet been linked to the budding label.

I am a HUGE Radiohead fan, and I'm so incredibly sad and disappointed, that within 2 seconds of tickets going on sale at Santa Barbara Bowl, the bowl was sold out. i already tried getting Coachella tickets so i could see Radiohead, and the SAME thing happened to me when i tried getting tkts. SOLD OUT in seconds. I don't understand what's happening in the world of bands and tickets these days!! I'm 50 years old, and in the past, when i've called in or gone in with the computer at the exact time of sale, i've been able to get at least something. I'm guessing that the ticketbrokers have figured out how to get all the tickets, so the fans are excluded from being able to purchase tickets at face value. I sat at my computer for an hour this morning, waiting to press the button the second it turned 11am, and i did just that, only to find NO tickets available. I already got a hotel room in Santa Barbara, thinking that i'd be able to go. I need four tickets, for me, my husband, and our two best friends.....if there is ANYTHING you can do to help us, I would so appreciate it. Thank you so much!!! Jill Terrell
