Early indie store Dark Matter listening party

Vitalogensia · April 8

Do I drive nearly two hours to "Hear the entire album before it’s released, land on some exclusive giveaways and pre-order Dark Matter before the big day!! We'll have posters to give away to attendees, PLUS we'll be raffling off a Pearl Jam tote bag & slipmats!"

I'm not 100% yes, but feeling a strong yes!

Leighton buzzard is nearest to me.

Nearest to me too, it’s midday there.

I just rang up and the guy said they will play the album a couple times. And the tote bags are for pre order any format and there is a red, yellow blue version or something .

A long shot but is anyone planning on going to the one at Spillers in Cardiff - and, if so, have you actually heard anything from the shop?

Nothing currently on their website and socials and I’ve tried emailing but no response. They’re usually closed on Sundays too.

I would definitely try to get some kind of confirmation if they are having the listening party or not directly from the store. The closest one to me is on the list, but when I contacted them they said they double booked events and told PJ management weeks ago that they were withdrawing. I guess it was too late to change the listing

I wonder how they decide the stores. The UK ones are so random and nothing within about a 3hr drive (I'm in York)

True very odd choices

Just had the email through and it’s now confirmed that the Brighton one is at Resident at 4pm (bookable through their website).

Looks like it’s just a two hour thing as they have another artist meet and greet at 6pm.

Great - thanks for checking and confirming this - (free) tickets booked

The record store nearest me on the list doesn't even have it on their event page! Maybe I will be the only one to show up and win all the goodies.

I know. Sad face emoji

Will all stores have the same items? Some are getting posters and nothing else it seems. Store I asked wasn’t aware of any items that would be given away - just the listening of the album.

uglybabo · April 12

Did anyone enter for the Toronto event?

They said they’d announce yesterday, but I didn’t hear anything.

Mine said posters for first 40 and slipmats for 20 or 30..I forget and some raffle items

Any record store hosting the event this Sunday not receive any Dark Matter swag yet?

My local record store said whatever the label sends will not be here in time for this Sunday. We don't receive mail on Saturday's here. So any promo items the label sends will be included with the purchase of the RSD vinyl that goes on sale next Saturday 4/20.

Vitalogensia · April 12

The slipmat is cool, hopefully I'll be able to snag one of those.

SVRDhand13 · April 12

I'll have to drive an hour to the nearest record store to experience this... I'm up in the air about it.
