I really hope some of you made it out to Tour de Fun this past Saturday to see some awesome Murfreesboro bands, but if not, you can still download the Tour de Fun playlist for a taste of the local talent.
But anyway, we’re ridiculously excited about the goings-on this coming weekend. Grimey’s is probably where you’re going to want to be April 16 for Record Store Day. There are enough RSD releases this year to make you pee your pants a little – Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Sonic Youth, R.E.M., Ray LaMontagne, Joan Jett – and the list goes on. Live sets start at 11:30 a.m. and include DJs and performances by April Smith &The Great Picture Show, The Great Book of John, Deadstring Brothers, Carnivores, Hunx & His Punx, Ben Hall, The Gabe Dixon Band, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and The Mattoid.
Then you can head over to Mercy at 9 for Hacienda, PUJOL and The Greenhornes. And if that’s not enough, catch Personal & the Pizzas, Barreracudas, Cy Barkley & The Way Outsiders, Useless Eaters and White Mystery at Glenn Danzig’s on Sunday. Happy early weekend. – Jessica Pace
