The free admission fair goes down at Zebulon this Saturday and features local luminaries like Sun Araw, Matthewdavid and Richard Chartier hawking vinyl and cassettes.
Last month, we published a Playing Favourites feature with Pete Swanson, in which he guided us through endless, obscure sound worlds. Catch him at Maria Minerva, Ale Cohen (Dublab) and Richard Chartier's laid-back night at Highland Park bar ETA.
Pete Swanson has an inexhaustible ear for sound poetry, manic percussion records, shambolic Eastern European folk and a thousand other genres. His deep tastes come across through the reissue label he co-founded, Freedom To Spend, which has brought beautiful and bizarre recordings by the likes of Ernest Hood and Michele Mercure to a wider consciousness. Catch a set from Swanson at the new In Sheep's Clothing pop-up shop marking new FT$ releases from Pamela Z. and Uman.
If you're into weird and wonderful records go to this. RVNG Intl. sub-label Freedom To Spend marks the release of a landmark of weirdo Americana, Ernest Hood's Neighborhood. FTS cofounder Pete Swanson selects LPs and the album gets a full airing.
Lena Willikens & Sarah Szczesny's Phantom Kino Ballet blends performance, film and soundtrack for a pleasantly indescribable trip. Willikens will play weirdo tunes along with Pete Swanson before and after the screening.
