Joining up with local record labels Chainletter Collective (Piebald \/ Facial \/ Manuok) and Lolipop Records (Thee Oh Sees \/ Mystic Braves \/ The Creation Factory), Blank City Records continues its support of all things local and giving a community to those labels shut out of the once independent inspired Record Store Day, which has now become dominated by major labels. Any local labels that wish to be part of the event can email the label at info@blankcityrecords.com to be part of the event. The free all-ages event will run from 12 noon until 8pm and feature live music from Chainletter Collective signing dimber, Blank City bands, as well as a DJ set from The Big Pink and an exhibition by artist Mollie Tuggle, who will be showing her hand painted rock\u2019n\u2019roll show posters.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the inspiration for the \u201cBlue Monday\u201d event, Blank City Records co-founder Marc Sallis says: <em>\u201cOur \u2018Blue Monday\u2019 event isn\u2019t about not supporting Record Store Day and our local independent record stores, it\u2019s a reaction to feeling shut out of that once brilliant independent event by the major labels who are flooding the market with vinyl and pushing their way to the front of the printing presses, which is sending the indie artists and labels to the back of the line and creating delays to their releases. As much as we love many major artists, does the world really need another overpriced Hendrix or Metallica reissue? This certainly isn\u2019t how RSD started out, so we\u2019d like to take it back to its original indie roots for a day. We are very much about community and supporting our local stores, artists and suppliers, but we also want to support our fellow local labels and create that community with them too \u2013 we\u2019re not in competition, we\u2019re comrades in arms. Releasing music is tougher than ever, so we\u2019d like to offer our home to our fellow independent labels too and support each other.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>The Big Pink &#8211; Live Dates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday November 27<sup>th<\/sup> 2017 \u2013 \u201cBlue Monday\u201d Alternative Records Store Day @ Blank City Records, 1307 Portia St, Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA 90026 featuring The Big Pink (DJ Set), dimber (live set), pop-up record stores &amp; Mollie Tuggle art exhibition<\/li>\n<li>Sunday December 17<sup>th<\/sup> 2017 \u2013 Blank City Presents\u2026 The Nightmare Before Xmas Showcase feat.
