Matador

<p>Cat Power is the recording/performing moniker of American singer-songwriter Chan Marshall. Born on January 21, 1972 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, she initially used the name "Cat Power" for her first band in Atlanta during the early 90s. Since then, it has become her stage name.</p>

U.S. independent label based in NYC; for company roles and copyrights please consider [l390562] for the USA, [l=Matador Records Ltd.] for the UK company division and the generic company profile relating to either legal entities [l=Matador Records (2)] 
[b]Note that while some Matador releases are exclusive to North America or Europe, they use one numbering system for all releases, so it is not necessary to enter them under separate labels.[/b]

The Matador label began in 1989 when [a=Chris Lombardi] dragged the Austrian duo H.P. Zinker into Wharton Tiers’ Fun City studio to record OLE-001, ...and there was light. Run out of Chris’ New York apartment, Lombardi added artists such as the Dustdevils, Railroad Jerk and Superchunk to the initial roster. Joined by longtime Homestead Records manager Gerard Cosloy in 1990, Matador experienced its first taste of crazed media attention & big sales with the North American release of Teenage Fanclub’s debut long-player, A Catholic Education. Over the years, the label has moved from shoebox sized offices to larger and larger complexes, the staff has grown from 2 to 24, and the roster has simply exploded. As well as functioning as the North American home to Pavement, Liz Phair and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Matador has helped artists such as Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, Cornelius, Solex, Pizzicato Five, Helium and the Arsonists reach audiences worldwide.

Matador has also served as the North American licensee for a number of exceptional international acts, including Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai, Boards of Canada, Red Snapper, Arab Strap and others. Since 1996, Matador has maintained separate offices and staff in London. In addition to supervising the promotion, sales and marketing of Matador titles on the continent, Matador Europe has also licensed recordings from some of North America’s most acclaimed new artists, M. Ward, Sleater-Kinney, Modest Mouse, and Superchunk to name a few.

While Matador has often been characterized (not by the label itself) as an underground or "indie" rock label, over the years, the label’s musical direction has grown, to the point where many hip hop, electronic and experimental acts play as prominent a role in the label’s sound & future as any number of singer/songwriters and rock bands. Sometimes all of the above converge.

During the 1990s, Matador entered into partnerships with [l=Atlantic] and [l=Capitol Records]. In 1999, Lombardi & Cosloy purchased back Capitol's 49% share of the label, and in 2002, [l613604] purchased 50% of the legal entities behind the Matador label / imprint [l390562] and [l291335] and took over Matador's worldwide marketing.

cat power returns with 'jukebox', her second album of cover songs and a tribute to the great vocalists who have influenced her over the years. recorded in dallas, memphis and miami with stu sikes (who also worked on loretta lynn's grammy-winning 'van lear rose'), 'jukebox' contains thirteen tracks, eleven of which are covers. the other two tracks - 'song to bobby', is brand new and a suitable inclusion as she wrote it about meeting bob dylan for the first time (it also precedes her version of 'i believe in you' on this record) plus a new version of cat power's own 'metal heart'. this is the first record she has made with her band dirty delta blues - the quartet of dirty three's jim white, delta 72's gregg foreman, jon spencer blues explosion's judah bauer and lizard music's erik paparozzi - and they make up a big part of this album. also making guest appearances on the record are spooner oldham (dan penn, neil young, janis joplin), larry mcdonald (toots and the maytails, taj mahal), teenie hodges (al green, memphis rhythm band) and matt sweeney (chavez). the album includes covers of frank sinatra, hank williams, james brown, dylan, billie holiday, janis joplin etc.
