My advice this week: stay home and rest up till Friday hits, because there is a ton o' stuff happening this weekend...
Fri, 4/17: Art & Performances at The Void Skateshop (aka Total Dude Fest)
Featuring art by these dudes: John Frederiksen, Robert Beatty, Jason 'Slim' Schuler, Clint Colburn, and Josh Blaine. Music by these dudes: Soft Openings, Wretched Worst, and Kraken Fury. And DJ sets by this dude: Mikey T. 8pm, $3.
Also Fri, 4/17: Give into the Groove: a community benefit event held at Third Street Stuff and Atomic Cafe featuring local fashion (S. Benedit, Isle of You and Hot Sauce Records Apparel); art (by Aimee-Lynn Hirshowitz, Brian and Sara Turner and more); music (Big Fresh, Etheonos, Otto Helmuth and more); Affrilachian Poetry Reading (Frank X. Walker, Bianca Spriggs and more); and general eclecticness (March Madness Marching Band). The event is FREE, and starts at 7 pm.
ALSO Fri, 4/17: Imogene and Willie, a new denim company based in western Kentucky
(soon moving headquarters to Nashville), will be making an appearance in Lexington, at Circa Design Studio on Short and Broadway. The event, brought to you from the guys at Bullhorn, will feature bourbon and cocktails, as well as a chance to have yo' ass fitted for a pair of Imogene and Willie's! Support Kentucky fashion!Sat, 4/18: RECORD STORE DAY
Here's the schedule of events for CD Central in Lexington (happily celebrating 14 years of independent musicdom this year):
Noon: The Butchers>>1 pm: Robert Schneider of the Apples in Stereo (solo acoustic)>>2 pm: Special guest DJs>>3 pm: Chico Fellini>>4 pm: The Sundresses (from Cincinnati)>>5 pm: Ben Sollee>>6 pm: Attempt
The throw-down will also feature tacos from BusTacos, free water and drinks, and discounted music sales. Cricket Press will be doing an in-house screen-printing of record bags and limited edition t-shirts.
P.S...Even if you stay for all the festivities at CD Central, you'll still have time to drive to Cincy to catch The Breeders performing live at Shake It Records at 8 pm!)
