Popcultcha Records pull together huge lineup for Record Store Day

The annual record appreciation day is back and Geelong's very own record lover has a lineup to suit the splendid occasion.

Record Store Day is here for another year of crate digging and appreciate for the art of wax. An annual calendar event across the globe, Record Store Day is a chance to come together to support the world of the independent record stores and the people how keep the physical distribution of music alive. Customers and artists unite to celebrate the unique culture of a record store, and the significant role these independently owned stores play in their communities.

Joining the celebrations on a local level is Popcultcha Records, who not only bring you the best in new and old releases each and every day, but who champion our Geelong live music ecology through regular gigs. For the Saturday 18 April celebration, they have pulled together a double dose of entertainment to accompany the crate digging tradition.

In the morning the upstairs Ryrie Street store will welcome UK multiplatinum artist Newton Faulkner for an intimate session under the ongoing Great Ocean Odes series for K Rock 95.5. Faulkner will be in town for his debut Australian tour for latest album OCTOPUS, playing at Barwon Club Hotel the night before. He will be supported by local songstress Jasmin Adria. The session will be broadcast live across the local rock station.

The afternoon will kick things up a level with a local recently reunited rockers The Vasco Era. The last twelve months has seen the band get back on the stage to celebrate their catalogue of tunes. The trio is supported by psychedelic duo Winksy, and Saint Ergo.

These sessions are free to attend and open to all ages. In addition, record collectors will be delighted by a extensive selection of Record Store Day stock, limited editions, and exclusives for the day.

It’s a huge gathering for the local store and a major celebration of record culture, not only in Geelong but across the globe.
