On April 17th, 2010, Vertigo Music will join independent retailers across the country in celebrating the third annual National Record Store Day, an event honoring music and local business. Live bands will play all day, and the event is free to the public.
As mp3s and other digital formats encroach on CD sales, and big box retailers gain more market share, National Record Store Day is a chance for Vertigo Music to say thank you to our loyal customers and to acknowledge the local record store's role in the community. Always a place where people can share their music, ideas and skills, independent music stores foster homegrown talent and provide a nurturing environment for the arts. As a part of South Division's diverse culture since 2000, Vertigo Music has been an integral part of the reanimation of the Heartside District, and is currently a stable and vital supporter of the revitalization of downtown Grand Rapids.
Supporters of Record Store Day at Vertigo Music include Founders Brewing, WYCE, Mos Eisley, All City Kicks, Bohemia Too, the Intersection, and the Orbit Room. Bands will include New Medicine, Radiator Hospital, Lazy Genius, Amoebas, Ribbons of Song, and My New Black Tooth.
Stay tuned for information on Record Store Day exclusives and deals on vinyl and CDs for the event.
