Red Onion Records have been giving away tickets lately. To keep up to date on their giveaways, like them on Facebook or sign up for their email list.
Enter to win a pair of tickets to see Memory Tapes at Red Palace on August 9th! You can email them or fill out an entry at the shop.
They’ll also have a pair of tickets for Cold Cave at Rock n Roll Hotel on August 4th. Check the Red Onion Records Facebook page for more info.
And if you’ve been waiting as patiently as I have for the new Soft Metals on Brooklyn’s Captured Tracks to be released, wait no more, it’s out! You can Spotify, if you’re lucky enough to be hooked up with a Spotify account, that shit, but you can also hop over to Red Onion next week and snap it up on vinyl. If I don’t beat you to it.
