The Australia Council For The Arts has added a further 11 independent record labels to its Recording Initiative.
Funded record labels to the tune of $400,000 include Chapter Music, Future Classic, Head Records, Hope Street Recordings, Mistletone Enterprises, Rice is Nice Records, Split Records, Stop Start, SugarRush, Two Bright Lakes and the Wantok Music Foundation.
“We were obviously pleased to have the budget to fund more applicants this year” said Australia Council’s Director of Music Paul Mason. “The output from these labels covers a really wide range of music practices, and the grants will directly support around 50 new releases by artists from around the country,” he adds.
