Less than three weeks after their signing appearance at Easy Street Records in The Junction (WSB coverage here) … The Sonics will be back tomorrow night for a performance during Record Store Day. Just announced:

THE SONICS (& Guests) Live At Easy Street On Record Store Day 2015!

We’re thrilled to welcome Northwest Rock Legends The Sonics to Easy Street for a very special Record Store Day live performance at 10 pm! Our heroes will be joined by an amazing array of special guests personally invited by the band throughout the night – and believe us when we say you will NOT be disappointed!! The Sonics performance is a ticketed event with proceeds going to KEXP’s New Home Campaign. A limited number of tickets, priced at $100, are on sale RIGHT NOW at Easy Street. Another small allotment of tickets will be on sale from KEXP.org starting at 3 pm today. Check their home page for link at that time.

Limit of two tickets per person, CASH ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE: EASY STREET WILL NOT BE SELLING TICKETS TO THIS EVENT ON RECORD STORE DAY. Remaining tickets still available on Record Store Day must be purchased through KEXP.org. Ticket buyers will also receive this super-sweet event lithograph by Independence Printage, as well as a retro-style ticket for the event!

That’s not the only thing Easy Street has in store for Record Store Day … it’s opening at 7 am, staying open well into the night, and featuring guest DJs including Chris Ballew – read the updates on the ESR website.

$100! Yikes! well…., um, errrr.. anyway. What with the nice weather and all, you don’t suppose that much of what is going on inside that tiny little record store might be expected to overflow into the street?

I thought the same thing, Curtis! That street corner is going to be jammed! Can’t blame Easy Street for charging for tix, since this is a worthwhile fundraiser, but a little too pricey for me.

Yeah, no kidding Curtis! The Sonics aren’t really capable of keeping their sound confined to the walls of a storefront. I’m certain quite the show can be had by lingering outside.
Not that I’m advocating this or anything like that, oh no!

That being stated, if you are a supporter of KEXP and like The Sonics and have the money, I would heartily endorse you go. I saw them at the Moore last Thursday and the show absolutely kicked.
The reverence rightfully accorded to them by other musicians should produce an interesting group of guests.

Yikes? it does say it is a benefit show. guess that is the internet generation for you – you want everything for free

Or maybe just the reality of the economy we live in Witch. Though I WAS able to drop $30 on them last week for the show at the Moore, which pretty much drained my entertainment budget for the month, and am a big fan of KEXP, this level of charitable donation is a bit beyond my means.
Must be nice to not be able to identify with that level of privation. So much for empathy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
