We are also doing something super fun and different at this one: we will be recording the entire set by the guest live band MALE TEARS from the mixing board and pressing it to vinyl, just like we have done for the bands Tallies, Twice Dark, Angel-Maker, and RIKI! We'll be pressing it in a strictly limited, super-short run of 100 copies on eco colored vinyl with full artwork and sleeve! You can pre-order your copy in advance for an additional $25 when you purchase your Spellbound ticket ($40 gets you entry and a super-limited LP). If you choose to purchase later (if any copies are left) they will be available for $30 at Indy CD & Vinyl. Please allow at least 3 months for the mixing, mastering, and pressing of the record. When the record is done you will be notified to pick them up at Indy CD & Vinyl or to pay for shipping to you.
We plan to do this for live bands booked at Spellbound going forward, for a continuing series called "Live at Spellbound" that will become a lasting legacy of collectible records you can keep as a reminder of the story of live music at our dark alternative dance night. There will be a connecting design theme on all the records and you could be the first one on your block to collect them all!
Beware: this event features loud music, flashing and strobing lights, fog and haze, and lots and lots of fun.
