Record Store Day: DJs Galore!

Record Store Day at OV is going to be a day to remember!  We have nonstop events beginning bright and early when the shop opens at 8am with Josh Feingold of DoLA.com and his DJ set, then continues on until 8pm ending with the special acoustic Silversun Pickups performance.  OV wanted to take a moment and recognize two very special guests that will be stopping by this Saturday during RSD for a DJ set...

Dean Spunt, known as the drummer and vocalist of the experimental punk band No Age, will be paying us a visit and spinning his tunes at 11am.  Dean is also the founder of Post Present Medium or PPM, a record label that has released numerous amazing albums from bands like Best Coast, WAVVES, Liars, and Mika Miko.  

Then at 2pm, Avey Tare, founding member of Animal Collective, will be joining us for a DJ set as well.  He released his album, Down There, in 2010 via Paw Tracks.  More recently, Avey Tare has embarked on a journey into a new group with one of our very own at OV, Angel Deradoorian!  Drummer Jeremy Hyman from Ponytail, joins them as well making up a trio calling them selves, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks.

Special Acoustic Silversun Pickups Set on Record Store Day

Coachella Smochella, this Saturday is all about Record Store Day at Origami Vinyl!!! Saturday April 20th, Silversun Pickups members Brian and Nikki will be returning to their roots in Echo Park/Silverlake for a special acoustic performance in front of 40 people in our loft.  

There is way more to this performance than meets they eye.  SSPU have been good friends of OV's founder Neil Schield for quite some time now.  They have secretly been planing a memorable RSD performance for a couple of years, and now the time has finally come!  More recently, within the last year, SSPU released their new album, Neck Of The Woods on Dangerbird Records and their bassist Nikki Mooninger received a bouncing bundle of joy in the form of beautiful twin baby girls.  Upon announcing her pregnancy she said, "This is such an exciting and happy time for me - new record, first babies.  I'll law low for a little while, but they won't be able to keep me off the road for too long."  

Well friends, the time has come... Nikki is back for her first performance since having the twins and we are stoked to have both her and Brian here to help us celebrate RSD!! 

Sneak a peak at SSPU's most recent music video, Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings), from their album Neck Of The Woods

JUST ANNOUNCED: Silversun Pickups @ OV on Record Store Day!

Yeah you read that right, we've got Silversun Pickups coming through the shop to play an acoustic set for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20th, so stuff THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

This is going to be a pretty crazy day, so only 40 people will be able to attend the show, and in order to pick those people we're going to be running a little contest. Here's the skinny on how to partake in the festivities:

The first 40 fans to come IN PERSON to Origami Vinyl and take an Instagram or Facebook photo holding up our sign that reads "I'm seeing SSPU at OV on APRIL 20th, 2013 for RSD" in front of the Origami Vinyl shopfront will get their name on the list (1 ticket per winner) to see Silversun Pickups play an intimate acoustic set in the OV loft on Record Store Day. Fans are required to share the photo on Instagram and/or Facebook and must tag @sspu @origamivinyl @recordstoreday and hashtag #SSPU@OVonRSD.

For those not familiar with the beginnings of SSPU, they got their start performing around the EP/Silverlake area, and we're stoked to be having these hometown heroes paying homage to their early years by playing here at Origami on RSD. They have a new album titled "Neck Of The Woods" (Dangerbird Records), and we think you should check it out, especially "The Pit," which we have conveniently provided you below.
