Tom Schraeder, a longtime local favorite musician of ours, is throwing a little release party tonight at Beat Kitchen. A cassette tape release party. We knew once vinyl started getting big again magnetic tape couldn't be far behind! The details for the show are in the video below, backed by Schraeder performance of a live tune just for you.
Tom Schraeder, Scott Lucas and the Married Men, and Tim Larson & the Owner/Operators all play tonight, September 23, at Beat Kitchen, 2100 W Belmont, 8 p.m., $8, 17+



Quite a lot of lo-fi, under the radar, acts have been doing this for awhile. There's a few exclusively cassette labels that I've seen around recently.
It will be interesting to see if, now that a bigger name is hopping on board, it does become a revival of sorts.
