National Record Store Day

Remember the last time you moved and swore you would never buy another record again for the rest of your life? Well it’s time to forget all that nonsense, because this Saturday (April 19th) is National Record Store Day! So get out and support your favorite local record store! God knows they need all the help they can get these days. In the age of free downloads and pirated music, fewer people appreciate the unique experience that a record store can offer. Below are a few of the events planned in Portland for this sacred day.

Jackpot Records Downtown (203 SW 9th Ave)

Local Portland band, MENOMENA will be challenging Jackpot Records customers to free foosball for National Record Store Da If your lucky enough to beat the band, your name will go in a hat and one lucky winner will win free special gifts. The band will also be bringing their private collection of vinyl and DJ’ing during the event.

Music Millennium (3158 E Burnside)

Music Millennium is celebrating this landmark event with a day of celebration, including free live music, giveaways, and prizes. Chris Margolin is performing at 1 and 2 PM, and Dylan May is performing at 4 and 5 PM.
