| _Griphin_ User Info... | As seen on the A.T. website... 4/26/02: NOMEANSNO ABANDON A.T. Nomeansno have informed us that they are leaving Alternative Tentacles Records after a 15 year relationship and over a dozen releases. The split is amicable, yet the label feels shocked, saddened and bewildered by the announcement. There wasn't any voiced disappointment by the band, rather, the band and their management decided to merely end the arrangement. They said that they wanted to control their records. But heck, thats how it goes! This is the music industry (well, kinda). Effective April 15, 2002, Mordam Records, our distributor, can no longer distribute the Nomeansno catalog, rendering the entire catalog no longer available to the public. (That is the bewildering part as they haven't announced a new label or distributor so their items will be effectively out of print.) (Also included is the Hanson Brothers album. Not included is the Jello Biafra & NMN release.) We will continue to sell our remaining stock (what's left of it) through our mailorder for the next few weeks until we get rid of it all. So, ALL NOMEANSNO LPs on SALE for $4.99 until supplies last AND ALL NOMEANSNO CDs on SALE for $7.99 until supplies last We wish the band the best of luck in the future. --- Good grief, I'm behind on this one. - Wed, 21 Dec 2005 1:44pm | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | It was interesting in 2002 when it happened. They've got a label in England (Southern Records, I believe) releasing and even putting out special editions of "Mama" and "Wrong" so far. - Wed, 21 Dec 2005 8:51pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | I didn't realize it when the boys played at Sugar (thanx to CFUV for getting me in there free of cost BTW), but what label do they use now? **UPDATE** OK, I was searching websites this evening and the reason they split from A.T. was something to do with how they sell in the European market, which is NoMeansNo #1 cash cow (so to speak), so the boys decided to release the albums on Wrong? Records. Thing is, I think only 4 or 5 of their albums have been reissued. Sigh... According to: http://www.furious.com/perfect/nomeansno.html Having formerly being on Alternative Tentacles until the 2000 release One, Nomeansno have now returned to their original home, Wrong Records. This was an amicable parting of ways due to distribution issues of Nomeansno main breadbasket, Europe. But on Southern Records website: http://www.southern.net/southern/band/NOMEA/ - They've released 6 of 15 of the albums, and the entire back catalog in Europe (figures). Sigh, I'm babbling again! - Wed, 21 Dec 2005 9:57pm | ||
