RECORD STORE DAY 2019 @ RIDE ON SUPER SOUND!
April 13, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 4:30 pm NZST
Free
SATURDAY! RECORD STORE DAY! DOORS AT 11AM! SICK RECORD DISCOUNTS! BEN WOODS AT 2PM! JOHNNY ELECTRIC ON THE DECKS! JOE SAMPSON COSPLAY IN FULL EFFECT! IT IS COMPULSORY AND BEER WILL BE AVAILABLE!
Those lovable losers at Ride On Super Sound have managed to get something together for Record Store Day 2019, with a bunch of brand new local releases and some top-quality import vinyl available at special discount prices just for YOU. Delicious alcoholic beverages will also be available from the Darkroom at regular prices.
Saturday’s retail extravaganza will also feature a 2pm solo set from Ben Woods – the sensitive vegan fuzz-rocker that critically-acclaimed local music video director Martin Sagadin called “one of the most important figures in New Zealand Music.” (Classic Martin hyperbole.) Ben will be accompanied on the drums by Rory “Racetrack Wolverine” Dalley, and the set will be bookended by a single-turntable DJ set from shop heartthrob Johnny “Johnny Electric” Electric, who owns six 45 RPM records and is overly confident.
Ride On Super Sound will also be holding a half-assed Record Store Day Cosplay Competition: roll up between 11am and 4pm dressed as flannel-clad indie guitar hero and used automobile enthusiast Joe Sampson and be in to win a Joe Sampson prize pack worth more than fifteen NZ dollars. Will you be Salad Boys Joe? Dance Asthmatics Joe? T54 Joe? Best Bets Joe? Pavlov’s Puss Joe? The possibilities are as endless as they are limited.
This orgy of consumerism will begin at 11am and continue until 4pm, followed by a brief break for massage and oranges before reopening at 8pm for 8K.NZ’s Wiretap release party – conveniently located across the foyer at Darkroom. GET AMONGST IT, SPORTS FANS.
To reiterate:
