Today is The Official Independent Record Store Day
More over at In The Crowd. Unfortunately the video we shot of Trash at The Whip concert on Thursday turned out to be crap. The nu rave light effects and the volume were more than my friend’s camera could handle. However, this is pretty much what is sounded like.

Especially enjoyable was the conversation with Markus Angermeier (Kosmar) after the presentation. We’ll be back for the next meeting.
