ATTACK OF THE VINYL MONDAYS AT ESSEX!!

Join us on Monday 4/16 to help us bring it back to where it all began.......

That's right, the Vinyl Retentives are returning to the scene of crime that is Essex St. Pub. Way back in the early Spring of 2011, a Monday night at Essex served as the trial run for what would become the Freeform Record Parties w/ the Vinyl Retentives. Things went well on that frosty April night, which then led to a year or so of wandering parties at North (before it sucked), Merge, and the Bend (and some random house parties along the way).

Now we prodigal sons are returning to Essex to join forces with the guys who started 'Attack of the Vinyl Mondays' earlier this year. They'll keep doing the first Monday's of the month, and we'll do the third Monday's of every month.

And to be honest, it'll be good to back. We always agreed that wherever we played, Essex had the best vibe cuz it felt like we could play the weirdest, wildest shit and no one would even blink an eye. So we are psyched, to say the least.

To top it off....this will be a b-day celebration for both Needles and Eider. Make sure to do a shot with them before they become incoherently smashed and pass out.

Should be fun.

Vinyl is Final. Freeform Forever.

9pm-?
