For the past 2 and a half years, I’ve hosted a monthly event in New York called the BBiB Record Club. The “BBiB” stands for Beyond Beyond is Beyond. The “Record Club” part stands for music-loving friends gathering to share in that too often forgotten ritual of actually “listening” to an album.
Here’s a little recent press via BlackBook about one of our group vinyl meditations.
Well, Franny and I are taking a lil vacation to LA, so I thought “Why don’t we have a record club out there?!” So off ya go! Here’s the info:
The Overpass in Silver Lake
3409 W. Temple, 90026
7:30 pm – beyond
First needle drop: 8:30
Join the event here on Facebook OR RSVP at mike@beyondbeyondisbeyond.com. It’s free to come but you’ll need to be on the guest list.
Here’s what goes down at the record clubs for those who don’t know:
We’ll listen to two mind-blowing rock records, of course on vinyl, one chosen by BBiB, the other will be brought by one of you. Both will remain a surprise until just seconds before you hear them. Surprises are cool.
There’s only one very important rule: no talking whilst the two sides of the records play. Before and after of course are fair game though…and quite encouraged. And of course drinks will flow at The Overpass.
Your name will need to be on the guest list to get in, so there are two ways to assure that. One, join the event here on Facebook or RSVP at mike@beyondbeyondisbeyond.com.
While you’re RSVP-ing, send an album suggestion with your email. All album suggestions will be considered for the record club but just one will be chosen.
AND we’ll probably be done listening to the records by around 11:00pm, but please plan on hanging around and continuing to party with me into the wee hours. I’d love to chat and get drunk with you. And that’s usually hard to do as our relationship is so coastally-challenged.
Really hope to see you West Coast pals then!
Cheers,
Mike
The Overpass
