Lizard King Records
 | This article needs to be updated. (October 2016) |
Lizard King Records is a London and New York-based independent record label founded in 2002 by Martin Heath and Dominic Hardisty.[1]
History
The label signed US rock band The Killers in July 2003. According to Heath in an interview with HitQuarters, "Everyone in America had turned them down. They had been out for a year looking for a deal but nobody was interested."[1] The label then released the band's first and second singles and debut album before they were then signed by Island Records.[1]
Around 2005/06 Heath and Hardisty decided to go their separate ways and Hardisty formed a new label Marrakesh Records.
Lizard King's distribution goes through ADA in America and Pinnacle in the UK.
