Welcome to The Vinyl District: Chicago, the newest member of the TVD network. Here at TVD you can expect to find local music news, interviews, features on upcoming shows and events, and as the Official Blog of Record Store Day 2011 we’ll be bringing you the latest record store happenings and vinyl news.
My name is Brian, and in addition to being a lifelong record collector and concert goer, I’ve spent the last 10 years working in some of Chicago’s finest live music venues, and behind the scenes at some of the great festivals that call Chicago home, such as Lollapalooza and The Pitchfork Music Festival. I hope to share my first-hand knowledge and experiences, but Chicago is a big town, and I’d love some help. If Tuesday is you’re favorite day of the week, record store clerks know you by name, and you have more pictures from shows than pictures of your kids, we’d love your contributions to the site. Take a look around the TVD Network, than drop us a line at chicago@thevinyldistrict.com, we can’t wait to hear from you!
Keep checking back in the coming days, because in addition to all the music news & interviews you crave we’ve got some great giveaways coming up with tickets to shows, records, and more! And really, who doesn’t like free stuff?
