2012_recklessrecords_graef.jpg As if teaming up with brewer Three Floyds to "Rye'd The Lightning" weren't enough, Reckless Records just announced Record Store Day in-stores at all three of its Chicago locations, featuring amazing local talent like Bloodiest, Radar Eyes, The Atlas Moth, Running, and Verma. We'll wait for you to put on a clean pair of pants.

Set times for all three stores have yet to be determined, but, according to the Reckless blog, the fun at the Milwaukee Ave. location will start at noon on Saturday, the 21st, with Rock n’ Roll caricatures by Plastic Crimewave Sound mainman Steve Krakow. More details below. Between this and the Numero Group pop-up store, we'll be running around like headless headbanging chickens. We'll let you work out that imagery.
