Additional Information

Poughkeepsie, NY Wednesday, April 11th 2018: Record Store Day 2018- dedicated to celebrating everything we love about independent record stores- is Saturday, April 21st at Darkside Records located at 611 Dutchess Turnpike in Poughkeepsie! Doors open at 9AM for this all-day event, featuring hundreds of exclusive limited-edition titles, live music, food, in-store sales, local vendors, craft beer, a store-wide sale, giveaways and much more!

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding indie record stores—the staff, the customers, and the artists—and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities and across the globe! A wide range of limited-edition Vinyl, CD and Cassette releases are made exclusively for the day, with the majority of the list coming from independent labels and distributors. All RSD titles are first come first serve! This year includes pieces from David Bowie, The Cure, Johnny Cash, The Doors, Dr Dre, Pink Floyd, Bill Murray, Grateful Dead, Run The Jewels and many more. See the list and our ‘menu’ of all available titles (posted the night before) at darksiderecords.com/rsd.

There will be food! Get free coffee courtesy of The Poughkeepsie Grind. For lunch, Poughkeepsie’s own G$’s Fried Chicken & Waffles returns with gourmet chicken & waffles (and vegan options)! Make a charity donation and get FREE ice cream from Ben & Jerry's of Madison Ave. Half Time Beverage and Dogfishhead Brewing will be on-site giving away free samples of the RSD-exclusive beer ‘Dragons and Yumyums’, brewed in collaboration with The Flaming Lips!

There will be live music kicking off at 2pm from Hudson Valley local bands Mike Hamel, Cold Hands, 100 and Zero, Ciarra Fragale, Geezer, Visitations, The Freejays and some special guests to be announced.

There will be fun- 92.7 & 96.9 WRRV will be on hand with your chance to win prizes! Meet the awesome athletes from Hudson Valley Horrors roller derby! More to be announced.

Friday night we are having an RSD Pre-Party featuring Jesse Kinch, winner of the ABC show ‘Rising Star’ who’ll be in-store doing a free live performance, meet & greet, and spinning his new album ‘I’m not like everybody else’!
