Record Store Day this Saturday
First ever Record Store Day is this Saturday and local indie stores are celebrating.
With I-tunes success and big name artists like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead releasing digital only cds, record stores are quickly losing their hold on the music market.
From coast to coast this Saturday, April 19th, record stores and music fans across the country will celebrate the record buying experience.
C’mon, you remember buying records with real art work and plastic cases, right?
Record Store day, or what some are calling “screw I-tunes day,” is being supported and celebrated nationwide by over 300 music retailers.
Local independent record stores Dingleberry’s and Gem City Records are planning events and special deals for Saturday.
Dingleberry’s will be featuring local DJ Jay Madewell live in-store. They are also planning many special deals on used cds and vinyl. They are also advertising “bags of free stuff.”
Gem City Records is having bands from open to close performing live. The line-up includes Shrug, Nick Kizirnis, XL427, and more. Gem City is also having an enormous amount of deals and free-bes for patrons.
