Other notable announcements and developments today…
• The Corida Group – the live music side of French independent label Because – has acquired a 50% stake in another French live music firm called Super! Which is, well, super. Super! founder Julien Catala is both “delighted” and “proud”. Among other things, Super! promotes the Paris edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival, which is happening right now.
• The all new IMPEL – the digital licensing grouping for independent publishers – yesterday held its first AGM and added four more members to its board: Ryan Farley from Cooking Vinyl Publishing, Simon Harris from Minds On Fire, Mary Jo Mannella from Music Asset Management and Paul Tunkin from Blow Up Songs. They join the organisation’s founding board members who respectively come from Beggars Music, Bucks Music, Kassner Music, Truelove Music, Reservoir Music, Legs Music and CTM.
• Channel 4 will set up a new HQ in Leeds, part of a bid to have the state-owned broadcaster do more of its broadcasting gubbins outside of London. It’ll still have a base in the capital though. Plus two lovely new creative hubs in Bristol and Glasgow. And who doesn’t love a creative hub? Well done Bristol and Glasgow. And Leeds, of course.
• Slipknot have released their first new song for four years, ‘All Out Life’. Says frontman Corey Taylor: “‘All Out Life’ is a song that is trying to do two things: bring everyone together, but also remind everyone that the past is not something to be discarded with disdain … ‘All Out Life’ is the anthem that reminds people that it’s not the date on the music – it’s the staying power”.
