SATURDAY, APRIL 19 @ 10:00AM - ???? / LUNA music MIDTOWN/BROAD RIPPLE (52nd & College)
It is the first annual RECORD STORE DAY! In honor of E's brainchild, LUNA music is proud to take part in what is already becoming a bit of an international event. On the 19th, hundreds of independently owned music stores across the globe will simultaneously link and act as one, with the purpose of celebrating the unique culture of independent record stores. We here at the LUNA are setting up a superb day of events--these are just some of the happenings that will be taking place at our Midtown location:
+Our Annual Sidewalk Sale (with loads of cheep CDs, vinyl, and other goodies). +LIVE performances from Standard Recordings artists Everthus the Deadbeats, Grampall Jookabox, Normanoak, and more to be confirmed. +DJ sets from: Greg L., Jessica, mr. lunatron. +The grill will be going most of the afternoon, with plenty of Veggie burgers. +John Clark will be doing illustrations behind the bands, as they play. +An Ion turntable (replete with USB output) will be given away to one lucky customer. +Grab bags (with samplers, surprises, and treats). +Reconnect with musically minded individuals in our local community (good times, indeed...) +And check out the love some of our favorite Independent artists are hooking us up with; LUNA will have exclusive, SUPER LIMITED, just-for-record-store-day-because-we-value-the-guys-who-helped-break-us, music for sale on the 19th! Check it: Steven Malkmus (10" single with all new music--only 1000 copies), Vampire Weekendr (7" single with two new tracks--just 500 copies), an Arthur Russell covers 12" (with Jens Lekman doing "A Little Lost"), Josh Ritter (a new CD EP of fresh goodness)...and this list, just like our participants, keeps growing...stay tuned.
