Long live the days of the mixtape, and sitting around your all-in-one CD/radio/cassette player, waiting for your jam to be played on the radio so you could hit ‘record’ on the cassette deck. Oh, the convenience (yeah, you missed the first few bars of the song because you were getting a snack, but so what?).
Indie label Rice Is Nice has announced its list of titles that will be available for perusing on Cassette Store Day on Saturday October 17 this year, including releases from Step Panther, Courtney Barnett, Fraser A. Gorman, Red Riders, Bloods and The Ocean Party.
TheRice Is Nice Mixtape Vol.3will also be available on the day, featuring tracks from Tired Lion, Pearls, Day Ravies and heaps more.
To celebrate Cassette Store Day Eve, party on down at Waywards (Newtown) on Friday October 16, with Zeahorse, White Dog and Us The Band. Head to the Rice Is Nice website for a full list of music retailers getting involved in Cassette Store Day around Sydney.
