About Me

We're an independent label-community-creative co-op-type-thing. Founded in 2002 by songwriter Martin Devaney and joined by Scott Legere in 2006 to really start kicking ass. Trying to get out there and survive in the wasteland that is the music business--together, without someone else reaching in our back pockets. We want to work with people who have a good work ethic, have had it up to "here" with things, and above all, write great songs. Is that you? Write to us at:Eclectone Records P.O. Box 14236 MPLS, MN 55414........Visit eclectone.com for CDs, T-shirts, posters, and more. Most CDs are 10 bucks or less, plus 2 S&H. You can contact us here about that stuff, too.......Our entire catalog is currently available through these sites via RedEye Distribution: Itunes, and iTunes international Napster and Napster international MusicMatch Real/Rhapsody MusicNet (which includes: AOL, Virgin, FYE, CDigix) MusicNow (Circuit City) MSN Sony Connect Loudeye (which includes: ATT Wireless, OD2, Starbucks) Audio Lunchbox Emusic Netmusic Puretracks Downloadpunk
