afternoon records kicks out the jams

3-year-olds are so cute. past all those terrible twos and saying the cutest things. afternoon records is going to be celebrating their third birthday this weekend by basically taking over the triple rock for 27 hours. saturday's going to feature an all ages show and a 21+ show with everybody's favorite up-and-comers melodious owl and popsters supreme superdanger alongside aneuretical and hello blue. and then sunday there's an all ages show with suqareshooters, the battle royale, one for the team, the plagiarists and viceburgh. i expect many people will be sleeping in sleeping bags in the green room overnight. seriously: if you haven't peeped any of afternoon's releases, you must've been in a sleeping bag for the last couple years. this town's rife with great little labels from eclectone to susstones and afternoon records is among the best with a rookie-of-the-year-fed lineup with enough pop-punk-dance-fury power to fuel a baker's dozen of disco infernos. that was the most hallett thing i've ever written. all the shows are $7, all ages ones start at 5 pm, the 21+ one at 9 pm. check afternoon records' website or the triple rock's website for more info.
