Tribe Records (NO)

:"This article is about a Norwegian record label. For the Detroit label, see Tribe Records."Tribe Records was a Norwegian record label founded in 1998. The company became one of the biggest contributors to the Norwegian record chart VG-Lista Topp 20 the following years [http://www.dagbladet.no/tekstarkiv/artikkel.php?id=5001030001704&tag=item&words=tribe%3Brecords Tekstarkiv - Dagbladet.no ] ] . Tribe fast became a commercial label focusing on dance, trance (music) and pop.

Tribe Records was among the first record-companies in Norway to fully start with the 360-deals when building their artist. The label had management-, booking-, and the standard label-functions.

History

Originally, four partners founded the company: Christopher Collings, Andreas Høyer, Anders Dybvik and Martin O. Muren. In 2001 John Sørensen joined the group.

In 2002 Tribe Records became the biggest domestic hit-label in Norway with a total of 28,9% of the norwegian hit-share on VG-Lista. [ [http://www.aftenposten.no/kul_und/musikk/article536104.ece Gjør hits av skitt - Kultur - Musikk - Aftenposten.no ] ] Many artists as Dina, Spritneybears, 2PM, L8R and Spin-Up was attached to the label.

In the 3 last years, Tribe Records had a cooperation [ [http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4373683-1.html Denmark's Capella, Norway's Tribe Link | Media & Telecommunications > Movies & Sound Recording from AllBusiness.com ] ] with the danish company Capella Music, owned by the founder of Mega Records [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edel-Mega_Records] Kjeld Wennick. At the end of 2003, the label was closed down.

Marketing controversies "we make ur shit hit"

Tribe Records stated in numerous interviews that their slogan was "we make ur shit hit".

It's aggressive marketing methods soon came under debate, when they threatened to do marketing activities in kindergartens to promote its new group "Splash". [ [http://www.mic.no/nmi.nsf/doc/art2001092512392583874570 MIC Artikkel: Refses for pr-stunt] ] After a couple of weeks of pressure applied by various newspapers lead by the newspaper Avis1, the leader of "Norwegian Teacher's Association" Norsk Lærerlag Laila-Brith Josefsen, and Ombudsman for Children Trond Waage, the label cancelled it's activities. [ [http://www.mic.no/nmi.nsf/doc/art2001092611244032803845 MIC Artikkel: Kutter barnehagestunt] ]

The strategy on having total control of each band and artist signed to the label, was not very popular among the music journalists. When Håkon Moslet wrote his reviews on one of the acts; "Spin-Up" [ [http://www.dagbladet.no/tekstarkiv/artikkel.php?id=5001010055436&tag=item&words=spin-up Tekstarkiv - Dagbladet.no ] ] , he only wrote an essay on the record-label and it's marketing methods instead.

When "Spritneybears", one of Norway's most selling artists for 3 years finally released it's album in 2003, it suddenly was rumoured that the artists themselves never had done any singing on the album. Most vocals is supposed to have been performed by Kjetil Tefke, who never officially was attached to the band.

In 2003 when the norwegian winner of Eurovision Song Contest, Jostein Hasselgård was about to release his single, Tribe released the same week a cover version. Beating Hasselgård with 4 places on the saleschart. [ [http://lista.vg.no/show_list.php?ListsOp=showWeek&week=26&year=2003&listID=1 VG Nett - VG-lista - TOPP 20 SINGLE UKE 26, 2003 ] ]

Norways third biggest newspaper, Dagbladet at last nominated Tribe as "The Last Cowboys" of the music scene. However, the persons involved went separate ways only months later.
