Record Swap Saturday!

NEXT DATE: OCTOBER 27TH!

You asked for it, and now they are back! This fall join Nail City Record at our new downtown Wheeling location for the return of Record Swap Saturdays and featured artist Mimi Albon!

The concept is easy: Gather up a stack of the records that you are willing to trade (Please no junk, we want to see quality). Bring them down to the shop, and you will find a group of like minded individuals who also have records to trade!

No records to trade and/or new to the scene? No worries! Come say hello and tell us what kind of music you like.
All music styles, types, and genres are welcomed!

**Mimi Albon is a local artist and designer. You can find more of her work here: --> https://www.instagram.com/illustrationsbymimi/

This event will take place on the last Saturday of every month this fall. Save the date so this can become part of your monthly routine!

Pocket Vinyl return to Wheeling, WV!

Monday, October 29 at 8 PM

Start your Halloween a little bit early this year! Beginning at 8pm on October 29th, Nail City Record will be hosting Pocket Vinyl and Weird Lightning in the listening lounge at our new down town Wheeling location. Entry is free but we do suggest a $5 donation or purchase of the bands' merchandise!

Don't forget to dress up! Top 3 best musician look-a-like win prizes.

About the Bands:

Weird Lighting is possibly best described as two people (BD & JB) from Wheeling, WV who make blorpy-teenage angst music for adults.

Pocket Vinyl is a duo from New London, CT consisting of a one man piano slammer and an on stage painter, who creates a beautiful and unique work of art at every show. The painting is then auctioned off to the highest bidder at the end of the night. Every painting and show is one of a kind.

Their new album "Uncomfortably Unsure" is a very good record filled with non-sexy songs about sex. You can see a great painting video of their first single right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn5gc1WkoPE

If you'd like to see Pocket Vinyl as puppets, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0VTkNWXzoM

If you'd like to see choreographed dancing, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQL1A8dcKKI

Or you can see a whole bunch more stuff at www.pocketvinyl.com

You will not want to miss this. Please come, bring friends, and have a great evening of musical questions and existentialism.
