Saturday: Grimey’s Record Store Day

As Record Store Day draws near, we find ourselves shuffling our weekend schedule so much that it looks like we’ll be making three separate trips to Grimey’s for the festivities on Saturday. And although there’s no promises of a Bat Poet appearance (he showed up last year), we’re still looking forward to it. Grimey’s has lined up a solid list of performances, and you can count on the Yazoo beer & BBQ showing up. The Avett Brothers and MuteMath are the big names playing this year, but it’s all free anyway… So check out a band or artist that you haven’t heard before.

  • 12:00pm: The Avett Brothers
  • 12:45pm: Stardeath & White Dwarfs
  • 1:45pm: Michigan City Vandals
  • 2:30pm: DeRobert & The Half-Truths
  • 3:15pm: Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
  • 4:00pm: Charlie Louvin
  • 4:45pm: Del McCoury
  • 5:15pm: Royal Bangs
  • 6:00pm: The Ettes
  • 7:00pm: MuteMath

In addition to the shows, Grimey’s back lot is bound to be overflowing with discount music, and they’ll be carrying a bunch of big releases a few days early. Grimey’s will be open from 10am-8pm on Saturday for Record Store Day.

  • Really pumped for Grimey's this weekend..been looking forward to it for a month or two now. The past two outdoor sales they've done I've walked away with a band I hadn't heard of until that day that I loved and have kept up with afterwards, so I'm sure there will be more of that come Saturday.
  • Some of the other local record stores have got stuff going on for Record Store Day as well. The Groove in East Nashville has mostly local bands performing in their store:

    Cotton Jones (Suicide Squeeze Records)
    Dave Cloud and the Gospel of Power
    The Hotpipes
    Shoot The Mountain
    Red White Blue
    The Coolin' System (includes Space Capone's horn section)
    The Tits
    DJs Coolout, Kidsmeal, Wick-it, Radski
    and Chris Crofton MCs the thing.

    The Great Escape is having a sidewalk sale and is discounting used vinyl by 25%. I think the outlet store on Charlotte is having a couple bands too but I've never heard of them and have already forgotten who they are (sorry mystery bands/likely TGE employees).
  • Thanks for the heads-up, Lance! Now we're reeeaaaalllly wishing we could squeeze some of that in around the other 50 million things going on. You'll have to at least take some pictures for us.
  • Man, I don't know if I'll be able to make it over there either. I'd like to but between Grimey's, the film festival, Rites of Spring and Centennial's Earth Day, the thought of adding new stuff makes my brain scream in horror.
  • We're basically in the same boat. The exact same boat. Weekend of insanity!
  • That's solidly cool.
