SATURDAY! ALL STAR ACOUSTIC SHOW AT CORNER RECORD SHOP!

– JASON ANDERSON –

insideJasonAnderson_02[1]

“Electrifying audiences with his impassioned, soulful performances, Jason Anderson’s concerts are often described as life changing. Equal parts soul revue and rock ‘n’ roll revival, Anderson brings to mind mid-70’s bootlegs of Springsteen and Van Morrison. His energy and enthusiasm have made his show a one-of-a-kind sensation in bars and basements everywhere. NOT TO BE MISSED!”

Jason played at No Fun House a while back with Paul Baribeau. Don’t miss this second opportunity!

– GREY GORDON –

Perhaps you got a chance to see him play at No Fun House last year. If so, then you know this is gonna be good. Grey is a rising star of the midwest DIY community. Recently signed to No Sleep Records and gaining new friends and fans with every show. Combining elements of modern folk with a heavy 90’s emo influence. Y’all are sure to love it!

– PETER COOK – 

Kalamazoo’s golden child. Member of many great local bands over the years (Boring People, Philly Crawlers, Edward, Forget The Times, Sleeper Agent…). Peter will be gifting us with a rare solo performance. Word on the street is he might be going electric on this one too. Get ready!

– RYAN KERR –

On tour with Grey Gordon. Roots influenced acoustic songs with plenty of passion and spirit.

As you can see, no slackers on this bill. Gonna be a night to remember!

Three of the four people playing this show are on tour. So, please be generous with yr donations! Jason is gonna have some killer merch too. Grey and Ryan are also raising funds for a split 7″ and will be taking pre-orders at the show.

Doors will be open all night and music kicks off around 9:30. Register will be open if anyone wants to do some late night shopping.

Rockin’ Rockin’ Record Store 5.21 9:30PM

The Corner Record Shop is hosting an indie rock extravaganza, featuring four solid acts, three of which are some outta towners.

GRASS IS GREEN are an angular, energy-filled punk influenced force from Boston. Heavy sounds with catchy hooks that create a want to dance and break stuff simultaneously (do not break or damage the record store’s merchandise)

OVLOV are a grungy pop wall of lush guitars also coming out of the east coast. They have an energy that makes you wish they were your favorite local band to sing all the words along with.

RADIATOR HOSPITAL are a former Grand Rapids now Current Philly band based around songwriter Sam Cook-Parrot. Ranging from high-energy powerpop full band performances, to solo acoustic bummerpop renditions, and spawning from lo-fi bedroom recordings, Sam covers all bases of truly excellent pop music.

BORING PEOPLE are local new sensation, bringing a full band take to a local songwriter’s long time bedroom recording project. If Ovlov are the band you wish were your local favorites, Boring People are sure to become near and dear to your heart.

This show starts at 9:30! Pring money for the touring folks, and bring money to buy records because the register will still be open. Bring your own beer if that’s what you require. Bring your lovely positive self and all your buddies.

In Kalamazoo, We Like Both Kindsa Art 12/15

The Corner Record Shop is trying their hand at being an Art hop venue. Or at least they would if they weren’t so far off the beaten path to be considered for the actual Art Hoppenings. However, to turn this bummer into a good thing, they’re hosting a similar sort of deal in the middle of the month!

Some Sid

This time around, they will be exhibiting the visual works of local Sid Redlin. Sid creates warped, intense and sometimes very large paintings, which will fit well with the musical stylings of:

Forget The Times (your local one-stop-shop for all things guitar driven noisy improv)

Brown Company (Newcomers featuring oldschoolers who really know their stuff when it comes to heavy, gutsy psychrock)

Saxsquatch Experiment ( Experimental saxy honks)

This show is FREE! But of course line your pockets with dough to take some records home. There will also be free wine and snacks provided, just like Art Hop! Showing all day, music at 9PM.
