Come join us at our favorite Wicker Park taqueria, Big Star (1531 N Damen), as we celebrate:
• Record Store Day and Bloodshot's RSD releases, including our live 15th year anniversary album from The Hideout Block Party!
• The Chicago International Movies & Music Festival (CIMMFest) with a screening of Exene Cervenka's short film, "Bad Day."
• The new album from Ha Ha Tonka and the band's release show at Sub-T that evening!
Whew, that's a lot of reasons to come on down to Bloodshot's day out at Big Star! The day will feature Bloodshot staffers behind the turntables; an acoustic performance from Ha Ha Tonka; giveaways from Bloodshot, Reckless Records and Laurie's Planet of Sound; drink specials and more!
But don't let the buck stop with us—get out there and support your local independent record store! It's their official day, after all (not that you shouldn't be shopping there ANYWAY!) Let 'em know you care—browse the racks, spend some cash, hug your favorite record store clerk, and realize how lucky we are to live in a city that has as many fantastic plastic platter purveyors as we do here in Chicago!
