Adding a nice little batch of previously loved Blu-rays and DVDs (maybe some VHS too… 🤫) to our horror section for tonight’s big pre-show hang with .bennygraves riffing over PREVUES FROM HELL (MST3K style). Scary and messed up stuff on the tv, heavy tunes, heavy booze. Perfect way to start off the much anticipated weekend!

This weekend!

Tomorrow night starting at 8pm we will be hosting a listening session for the new BOARDS OF CANADA record, INFERNO. We will have a solid amount of copies of the record for sale on both limited red and standard black wax, and on CD. We'll be playing the new one a couple times and rounding out the night with some more BOC classics til close at midnight.

For everyone who has been asking about the listening session packs: we have had a lot of people reaching out, and unfortunately, we only got a few of them. Starting at 8pm when we start playing the record, we'll be taking a single raffle entry from everyone who shows up to hang out. When the record finishes up around 9, we will draw the winner and give away the packs to three separate people. You must be present at the shop to enter.

Bar opens early at 5pm Friday for HAPPY HOUR! Starting at 8, we're hosting a little pre party for the BUFFALO HORROR GARAGE SALE! We'll be watching some horror stuff with BENNY GRAVES and drinking beers. Some graphic stuff, so leave the kids at home! 8pm-MIDNIGHT, no cover.

Just hangin Saturday night - nothing crazy goin on event wise. The bar opens at 8pm, slinging beers and records til midnight. Fun fun fun.
