We’re delighted to announce that TVD has partnered with Warner’s Independent Label Group (ILG) to co-sponsor (along with Modern Art Records, Bright Antenna, and Black Bell Records) what we’re calling one damn fine SXSW showcase, for next Thursday night at Austin’s Soho Lounge.
On the bill for 3/15 are Miniature Tigers, The Chain Gang of 1974, Geographer, Magic Wands, Secret Music, and Stepdad—all of whom we’ve cornered as a lead up to the showcase for a chat about—right, records.
To kick off tour Showcase week anew, we’re joined by Geographer whose new LP MYTH hit store shelves this past February 28th on Modern Art Records.
“My earliest recollection of vinyl was my Dad blasting Tchaikovsky’s 1912 Overture to wake me up for brunch on a Sunday when I was in elementary school. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he would never let me touch his records or record player for fear that I would destroy them.
He even had his vinyl collection under lock and key. Little did he know that I knew where he stashed the key and learned from watching him how to use the stereo. When I got home from school the next day, I cranked up the receiver put on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
From that moment on, I knew that when I was older I would own a record player and start a vinyl collection of my own. Thanks Dad! Love you!”
