Are you Ready for Record Store Day?

The bill for this Saturday’s annual Record Store Day is looking quite tasty indeed.

Cassie Davis will be singing and signing at Hurstville Westfield, the Rogue Traders will appear at the Virgin store on Melbourne’s Chapel Street, and Bluejuice will show up at Wills Music, Launceston.

Reality TV fans can meet Damien Leith at Kotara Westfield’s JB Hi-Fi, Hayley Warner at Westfield Mt Druitt, or Mark Vincent at JB Hi-Fi at Eastland.

A few Aussie music veterans will go it alone for the event. Get up close and personal with INXS’s Tim Farriss and Hoodoo Gurus’ Dave Faulkner at Mall Music at Warringah Mall.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Head to the Record Store Day website to see what’s happening near you on April 17.

Celebrate Record Store Day This April

As an old school music fan, I’m a big supporter of Record Store Day. There’s just something so satisfying about thumbing through the CDs and taking your tangible purchases to the counter that iTunes and the like could never hope to replicate.

Record Store Day celebrates that experience with appearances from some of the music industry’s heavy hitters. Last year we saw Jessica Mauboy, Short Stack, Wes Carr, and even Irishman Ronan Keating making old-fashioned instore appearances, and I’m expecting another big line-up this year.

To see who’s visiting your local record store on April 17 keep an eye on the Record Store Day website. There’s been no announcements made as yet, but if the first year was any indication this one’s going to be big!
