Sorry I’ve been out for a week or 2 and we have not been updating this site. Well that ends now.

This Sunday we have a show downtown. One of those hardcore things

Here’s all those new vinyls dropping this Friday!

– A bunch of reissues from rapper CHANCE THE RAPPER. This includes his albums “Coloring Book”, “Star Line”, and “The Big Day” – all being pressed to colored vinyl.
– More reissues from MASAYOSHI TAKANAKA (80’s Japanese jazz fushion and city pop). We will have his albums “Natsu Zen Kai” and “Finger Dancin” on colored vinyl.
– Ska punk masterpiece from 1996, THE SUICIDE MACHINES album “Destruction By Definition” is being pressed on red vinyl.
– A new one from hippie jam band GOOSE. Called “Big Modern!” we are not sure what color of vinyl we are getting for that one.

This week Pepperoni picked that polka dot band

“You already know what this is – all weekend every record store in the world has been posting that they are stocked with records from this POLKA DOT BAND aka “Angine De Poitrine.” They are French Canadian, and I’m not even going to try to pronounce that name. This wacky duo is their own beat of math rock, utilizing loops and other pedals in their setup- what’s really impressive is how they pull that off wearing those ridiculous costumes. Just about the buzziest band we’ve seen on the internet in a minute – but do we think their music will hold up when the internet hype dies down? I think it will.”

Since we’re behind on updates, here’s some other stuff that’s been happening. First we had a great time at the Olivia Rodrigo midnight release party.

There was much love for the legendary Los Angeles punk Alice Bag who performed in our downtown store along with another great Chicago punk band Clickbait

Brian and Jeff were spotted together last week at the new pinball spot downtown, Vault 66.
