TOADIES AND RECORD STORE DAY

In celebration of Record Store Day www.recordstoreday.com, Toadies will play an in-store in Seattle at Silver Platters, time TBA. Toadies drummer Mark Reznicek says "As anybody who knows me can attest, I love record stores. I can spend hours browsing the racks, where one album will remind me of something else I want to look for, and so on and so on. I have fond memories as a teen of trips to Omaha and making my folks take me to the late, lamented Peaches record store there, and saving up my spare change to buy that new Talking Heads album, or the latest release by The Cars. I especially enjoyed hearing something new in the store while shopping, asking the guy behind the counter who it was, and going home with a new discovery, and a whole list of future purchases. Long live the record store!"
