Record Store Day 2013

Three of our favorite things on live drive are music, coffee and ice cream! With world record day just around the corner Tower Records have made an event so tasty it seems a shame not to let you all know about it. 

Not only that but the whole event is family friendly, here's the spiel:

Live bands, coffees, ice-creams, oh and come nice records too!

RECORD STORE DAY 2013 at TOWER RECORDS DUBLIN

Saturday April 20th from 9.00am

Tower Records Wicklow Street and Easons, O’Connell Street

The countdown is on for Record Store Day 2013 at Tower Records! This coming Saturday, April 20th, hundreds will queue outside Tower Records, Wicklow Street and Easons, O’Connell Street, vying to be amongst the first to scramble through the doors at 9am. Their mission: to nab the much sought after limited edition exclusive Record Store Day releases from many of the world’s biggest artists, from Bowie to Bush, Dylan to Hendrix, Cave to Drake to Gza to Zappa and hundreds in between! What releases will be available for music zealots to purchase is pretty much anyone’s guess. Tower Records put in the orders for copies of all Record Store Day releases and then the wait commences. Big brown boxes arrive, their skins are peeled back and their Record Store Day crgo is revealed. A little of this, a lot of that, hardly any of one, none of another.

A worldwide occasion to celebrate the independent record store, Record Store Day 2013 at Tower Records Dublin will feature a myriad of fun stuff – free Captain Americanos coffee courtesy of Captain Americas from 6.30am for all the freezing souls queuing on Wicklow Street; the ultimate rock’n’roll breakfast from 9am in Tower Soundbites Café, followed by delicious coffees, cakes and lunches all day long and acoustic sets from Owensie and The Twilight Sad; legendary Bray goodie purveyors Teddy’s will be doling out the creamy ices from around 11am ‘til the afternoon compliments of Tower; cool Tower Record balloons for the kids, to go with their epic first album purchases and a number of special items to purchase such as signed albums, posters and artwork from a variety of acts including Phoenix, Biffy Clyro, Lewis Watson and more.
