GOULD FETCHES THE T-BOY: Veteran manager Andy Gould (Rob Zombie, Pantera, Linkin Park) is launching a label at Universal Music Enterprises for “established iconic hard-rock bands with major followings.” The label is named after his first job in England as a “tea boy,” fetching cups for legendary Beatles producer George Martin. Said Gould: “The idea arose out of discussions with the other managers of major hard-rock acts who all felt their artists could benefit from an improved label experience,” Added UMe President/CEO Bruce Resnikoff: “We’ve shifted our strategy away from being a traditional catalog label into a branding and marketing company. Andy has his finger on the pulse of bands that have a huge touring base that can sell a great deal of music in both the audio and video formats. This music is a brand in and of itself. Now will you hand me those earplugs?” Expect the first singings to be announced imminently. (1/28p)
