Spank Rock signs to Downtown Records
Spank Rock @ Highline Ballroom, NYC - May 15, 2007 (CRED)
Spank Rock, the hip-hop/funk/electro group originally from Baltimore that was the subject of an intense, year-long, behind-the-scenes industry battle, recently completed a four album deal with Downtown Records, the independent label responsible for launching Gnarls Barkley’s platinum-selling debut St. Elsewhere. Formed less than two years ago by former major label talent scout Josh Deutsch, Downtown beat out heavy-hitting contenders like Domino and Atlantic to sign the much-loved underground sensation known for its crafty beats, raunchy lyrics, and raucous live shows. [The Daily Swarm]I believe all that except the part about Downtown (also the home of Art Brut and Cold War Kids) being independent. In fact, I guess that sort of means Atlantic was fighting itself sort of maybe? Here's more Spank Rock.

How much longer do you think we have to wait before seeing the guys in Spank Rock actually fucking a girl on stage or getting a blowjob or eating some pussy? Cause all this shit they do now is just a tease bullshit

Maybe they'll have some dough to include Amanda in their live show. That Highline gig was fun, but without Bump or Touch Me, It felt like all jerk and no off, if you catch my drift. All blow and no job.

Wow, she's, like, totally asserting her independence from the 'rents. Give me a break.

That young woman's name is Michelle. She is a sweet young girl. I should know, I'm her mother.
She's just up there having a goodtime. James Brown was doing the same thing to me when I was Michelle's age.

Just as a heads up, Downtown is an independently owned label. That wiki
entry is not really correct.
They only have a straight up distribution and upstream deal with Atlantic
for select artists but Downtown is not a part of Warner Music Group.
Thankfully.
