[1] Prawn Song is based in San Francisco, California, and distribution is handled by The Orchard in the United States[2][3] and Cooking Vinyl in Europe.

[5][6] They then used the profits from those sales to keep pressing the album, one thousand copies at a time, and signed a distribution deal with Rough Trade Records.

[8][9] At this point, Prawn Song was also made a sister label to the Atlantic imprint Mammoth Records, working together with them to launch the musical projects of many of Claypool's friends and former bandmates, including M.I.R.V.

[18] Claypool alleged in 2018 that Mammoth severed ties with Prawn Song as a result of their refusal to release an album by his side project Beanpole, which he worked on with Larry LaLonde, Adam Gates and Mark Greenberg among others.

[citation needed] As an independent label, Prawn Song reissued the early, out-of-print, pre-Interscope Primus albums,[6] as well as DVDs of some of their recent live tours.
