Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) has joined forces with veteran Rock manager Andy Gould to form a new label, T-Boy Records, which will serve as an umbrella label releasing new music and albums from established iconic Hard-Rock bands with major followings. One of the first albums from the deal is ROB ZOMBIE's new studio album, "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor", due out on April 23rd via T-Boy/UMe.
Gould has managed Rob Zombie since his days in WHITE ZOMBIE. Gould’s track record includes sales exceeding fifteen million worldwide and seven Grammy nominations with Zombie including securing deals for Zombie to become one of only a handful of people to have unprecedented success for six feature films as the writer and director.
“We have had a great deal of success in the past with Rob Zombie,” explains Gould about his decision to take the new venture to UMe. “We want to sign Rock bands with brand names that do good business on the road, and have been undeserved by the major label system. The idea I had arose out of discussions with the other managers of major Hard-Rock acts who all felt their artists could benefit from an improved label experience. We’re looking to super-serve this niche audience, which is tremendously loyal, and is often even larger internationally than here in the States.”
