Recent News!!
First off we would like to thank 8-Bit Creeps and Soft Speaker for putting on such a wonderful show at our shop last week. It was a great fun and good to hang out with everyone and see people having a good time. We look forward to having both bands back in the future.
Next up, we have another show at the shop this Saturday, Dec 13th at 2:00pm featuring three more wonderful local bands (and when we say local, it means they live right down the street). Thomas Comerford, Jessica Risker and Axons will all be gracing the shop with their wonderful music. See below for more info.
We have a ton of new releases that came in this week including new releases from DJ Shadow, local faves Droids Blood, Benoit Pioulard, The Liminanas, as well as killer reissues from Possessed, Exodus, Fela Kuti, Roy Montgomery, Screaming Females and a ton more. See below.
