Black Lips spur 7-inch vinyl madness
Remember last year when the Athens-based jokesters at Chunklet magazine sponsored a concert featuring the Selmanaires, Deerhunter, Carbonas and the Coathangers at Whirlyball Atlanta — and sold tickets in the form of a 7-inch single featuring said artists? It was a genius idea so good that they’re doing it all over again. On Saturday, Jan. 19, the Black Lips, Gentleman Jesse & His Men, the Baby Shakes and Coffin Bound will congregate at Whirlyball. And yes, the only way you can get in is by purchasing a 7-inch vinyl disc showcasing these great bands.
You can only buy a ticket/record at Criminal Records for $10. That might be a bit expensive for a 7-inch single, but not if you consider how much you’ll be able to sell the soon-to-be collector’s item on eBay.com years from now.
