Today is Record Store Day 2014 and if you haven't seen the list of exclusive releases, you may want to take a glance and get in line at your local shop before all the goods are gone forever. I'm excited to check out my favorite spots in the district including Red Onion, Smash!, Som, Crooked Beat and Joint Custody to grip some vinyl. Check out what these and some of the other stores around town have planned in this guide written by my buddy Matt for DCist.

The next show at the Dougout is just around the corner and will be featuring some garage scuzz punk from local favorites Foul Swoops, Chicago scumlords Flesh Panthers, new district transplants Neonates, and ex-shitstains Sneaks from Baltimore. The gig is set for May 1, more information can be found here.

DC Record Fair

those of you in the district on Sunday, February 12 should check out the DC Record Fair where i'll be slinging tapes at the Som Records table. as far as i know, this will be an all-vinyl except for my setup, so keep your eyes peeled for cassettes and stop by and say hi! this year's fair is located at the Riot Act Comedy Theater; come early at 11am to snag all the best finds for a $5 entry fee or wait until noon to get in for $2.

Som

very happy to announce that DZ TAPES are now available live and in-person at SOM RECORDS in DC! if you're in the area and want to save on shipping, stop by the shop on 14th and T NW to pick up a cassette and scope out their amazing selection of new and used vinyl. i'm hoping to get tapes into more shops around the area and elsewhere, so if you have any distribution requests please feel free to get in touch.
