Dumb Records is big on all those special events and sales happening throughout the year, and who could forget that Cassette Store Day happens in the fall? This will be the record store’s third time participating in annual Cassette Store Day which this year falls on Saturday, October 8th. Much like Record Store Day in April, for Cassette Store day there are a number of exclusive cassettes released just for the day available at a select number of record stores. More info can be found on the Cassette Store Day website right here. Dumb Records will be picking up a good amount of those releases in the store. In addition to that, the store is offering 30% off all non-exclusive cassettes, and 15% off everything else in the store.

Dumb Records will be open that day from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. There will also be a 7:00 pm show inside the store to go along with! The show will feature Springfield electronic artist “Rustocrat” whose music you can find streaming bel0w. We also have a very rare performance by Taylorville garage band “The Nine Elevens” who last performed at Hardee’s at Dumb Fest. Opening things up is another newer act and that is Eric Marvel of Luzhin Defense doing some new material. Check out a facebook event for all of that right here. Also check out our shows page for a better look at everything else coming up in Southtown this fall.

Here we have it, another week at Southtown record store Dumb Records (1107 South Grand East Ave.) with a giant elephant next to it. This week there are plenty of used records (12″s and 7″s) hitting the shelves, and we don’t even have all of the re-stocks listed here. Thanks to all who came out to the in-store performance we had on Sunday night! Let’s take a look at Dumb’s operating hours this week and then get into the new arrivals:
