We are pleased as punch to finally announce the first part of our plans for this year’s Record Store Day…

THE BLACK ANGELS!!!

Seriously, by far, one of our favorite bands is going to be playing here, in the store, for Record Store Day!!! Their record, Phosphene Dream, still is played non-stop in here  and I have a feeling it was played a whole lot in your homes as well!

We still have a lot more to announce(at least one more great national touring act, along with some other news) but we couldn’t hold our excitement about this much longer!

Still you might be wondering, “what the heck is coming out for Record Store Day?” Well, here is the list…

We are completely ecstatic to announce that two of our favorite bands, Kurt Vile and Soft Pack, will be playing in-stores here this coming Monday, October 25th, before their show at Mickey Finns that night.

We’ve long been fans of both bands. We discovered Kurt Vile when we found out one of the dudes from another store favorite, War on Drugs, had put out a solo record called Constant Hitmaker. From the moment we heard it, we were completely in love. Since then, we’ve been pushing all of his records on to you, from the super limited God Is Saying This To You to easily one of the best albums of 2009 in his Matador Records debut, Childish Prodigy. He’ll be peforming at 5:30 and will be doing an all acoustic set. We urge you to come check this out.

Before he plays though, we’ve got the Soft Pack! Having dug their 45s they released as The Muslims, it took us all of 10 seconds to know that their debut album as the Soft Pack, released this year, was one of the best things we’ve heard in a long time. Their music brings a lot of great bands to mind: the Feelies, the Monks, the Replacements, Hot Snakes. Not bad company. They’ll be playing a couple songs before Kurt Vile starting at 5:00!

Kurt Vile w/ the Soft Pack
