Epiphany on a Tuesday night…

MENAHAN STREET BAND feat. CHARLES BRADLEY. Tuesday Sept. 22.
Last night I was lucky enough to see Charles Bradley and The Menahan Street Band at the Prince of Wales Bandroom. Had I died on my way home after the show, I would have died a happy man…  If you’re in Sydney, Adelaide or Perth – you still have the opportunity to bare witness. Don’t sleep. Here’s a rough guide to how it sounded. Do the math.

MSB + CB = HEAVY SOUL

Fat Beats Drop - 4 inch wax!!

Yes - It’s here - 4 inch vinyl, but there is a catch. To get your hands on it you’re gonna have to buy the new MAYER HAWTHORNE LP - A Strange Arrangement. The 4 inch single comes with the LP and features 2 exclusive tunes: When I Say Goodbye (Demo) + Love Is Alright. This is strictly limited and will not be available ever again. Freak the funk y’all, freak out your friends and freak out your automatic turntable.
That’s not all we’ve got either - Lots of funk, soul and hip hop. Check the listing under new stock. Titles include J DILLA: Jay Stay Paid (Compiled by Pete Rock), LEE FIELDS: My World LP, MENAHAN STREET BAND: Make the Road by Walking LP, J-ROCC: Tasters Choice Mix CD and more. NEW STOCK
