911 Entertainment was a independent multimedia record-distribution company that operated from late-Summer 1996 to early 1999 in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1]

Background and Info

They were well known for operating their own website which contained rTribe, a website that displayed lots of multimedia entertainment which included an interactive community[2], the Worldwide Internet Music Archive for an online tour guide to live music[3], Warped World for punk rock, Vans Warped Tour and extreme sports, and Big Top Tour which focused on electronic music.[4].

Over at the music side, the company had three music labels; 911 Records, Long Arm Records and 4dat. 911 Records, which focused heavily on the alternative rock scene, signed bands like Marshall Coleman, Crushed, Stickmen, Ultrahorse and plenty of others around the timeframe the company opened its door in 1996.

Lost material

The year after the company's global launch and their website debut, they created websites for the bands that they signed. The websites would include tour dates, interviews, audio and video files, biographies and photo galleries for the flagship bands.

Sadly, the only remaining material available are music videos from three bands Marshall Coleman, Crushed and Shelly Streeter, that are available on YouTube and Internet Archive. The other material that contained everything from 911 Entertainment's websites remain lost to this day.

And any attempts to get any files from the main website around early 1997 have failed, as the video files and other material would be in an RPM or RAM (Real Audio Media) format which unfortunately, if downloaded, it would display with an error message stating that the file is corrupted.[5] Once entered on the company's main website around that timeframe, it would automatically download a RPM file from one of Marshall Coleman's material.[6]

The site also contained a 24-hour live feed of interviews, music videos, animations and eye candy. A few examples of lost material that has not been surfaced in two decades are listed below, however, there is possible more lost material from the multimedia company that is still out there, but has not been surfaced in the past 23 years.
