International Artists (IA) was an American independent record label based in Houston, Texas, United States, that originally existed from 1965 to 1970.
The label is famous for its roster of well-known Texas psychedelic rock bands, including The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola, and Bubble Puppy, as well as lesser known bands such as The Golden Dawn, Lost And Found, and Endle St.
International Artists also released an album by blues guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins, Free Form Patterns, that featured session work by the 13th Floor Elevators' rhythm section.
In 1980 the double-LP Epitaph for a Legend (IA #13) reissued rare International Artists tracks from Roky Erickson's first band, The Spades; early demos by the Red Crayola; and forgotten relics from other Texas blues and psychedelic artists.
A six-CD box set, The Best of International Artists, was released in 2003 and included the entire Epitaph compilation, along with reissues of the debut albums by the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Red Krayola, Lost & Found, and Bubble Puppy.
