Wilco form their own label



Jack White ain’t the only rocker with his own kick ass label anymore. Wilco have gotten into the game and formed their own record label called dBpm Records (via CoS). The label’s releases will be marketed and distributed via Anti- Records.

Frontman Jeff Tweedy said in a statement that the label is an idea that Wilco has talked about for a while. “We really like doing things ourselves,” said Tweedy. “So having our own label feels pretty natural to me. And, to be working with ANTI- a label that has its roots in a label that was started by a punk rock guy to sell his own records seems like a perfect fit for us.”

The band left their label, Nonesuch Records, back in 2009 and seem to be headed down the indie route. They’re apparently working on their next studio album and have released tour dates for 2011 already which include headlining the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Check out the dates down below.

Wilco tour dates:
5/2 – Montgomery, AL, Montgomery Performing Arts Center
5/3 – Mobile, AL, Saenger Theatre
5/5 – New Orleans, LA, New Orleans Jazz Festival
5/6 – Houston, TX, Verizon Wireless Theater
5/7 – Dentonx, TX, University of N. Texas Auditorium
5/8 – Tulsa, OK, Cain’s Ballroom
6/24-26 – North Adams, MA, Solid Sound Festival
