World's Fair has ceased operations starting yesterday. Created in 2004, the NY-based group was a full-service international admin company that did everything from press and radio promotions to online marketing and finance services. The group worked with a vast array of artists, indie labels, and distribution companies over the past several years. Its most recent clients included labels Daptone, Bella Union, PIAS, and Rough Trade; artists Secret Machines, Lyrics Born, and British Sea Power; and distributors ADA, Caroline, and The Orchard.
Whether or not you were aware of the actual group, chances are you were exposed to some of these artists/labels through its legwork.
