Ivy League Records is a record label based in Sydney, Australia.
Associated with the music management company Winterman & Goldstein and Ivy League Music publishing, Ivy League is the creation of Cameron Emerson-Elliot (now in Youth Group), Peter Lusty and James Roden (now in The City Lights) of The John Reed Club in 1997. Three partners from management company Winterman & Goldstein, Pete Lusty (John Reed Club), Andy Kelly (Glide) and Andy Cassell (formerly from Youth Group) then took up the label in 1998.
Ivy League's first significant success was with Youth Group. Ivy League subsequently reached prominence with both Josh Pyke and Cloud Control on the label and via the sister company - Winterman & Goldstein management - with The Vines, Jet and The Sleepy Jackson.
In addition to those mentioned, Australian artists currently signed to the label include Lanie Lane, Sparkadia, Alpine, Catcall, Deep Sea Arcade and The Mess Hall.
In the past, the label released music from the likes of The Vines, Red Riders, Bridezilla, Wild Billy Childish and the Buff Medways, The Silents, 78 Saab, The City Lights, The Whigs, Snob Scrilla and Neon.
In March, 2006 Ivy League announced that they had entered into an equity relationship with Michael Gudinski, a well-known figure in the Australian music scene.
