Everyone probably noticed that the last couple of years, vinyl is making a huge come back. It is in this spirit that TRIX is holding its very first record fair. You might think:" why should i go to TRIX for vinyl when i can go to any good record store or just order them online?". Well, TRIX is going all out and this is not just a normal vinyl market. They've planned all these amazing stuff. The day starts at noon and ends at 9pm and is totally free!
The day really consists of 2 parts; on one hand you have the market which will be set up in zaal and on the other hand you have TRIX club where you can go and see bands perform and listen in on interviews (starts at 4pm!). Vinyl will be the main focus of the market, but don't think that will be the only thing they have in store for you. You can get cd's, cassettes, turntables, bags,.... anything you can probably think off (music-related of course). Labels, musicians and music lovers will be selling parts of their own collection...
This is a preview of some stuff Peter Daems will be selling. Peter works for and he used to program at the legendary Lintfabriek and later in his own bar, Bar Mondial.
Below: a couple of TRIX employees (no shirt on a weekday, what is going on there?) with a record they will be selling on Sunday. See all the pics . Love'm!
Like we talked about above, there will also see shows on Sunday. Copy of 98 is a hommage to Dead Man Ray's album 'Berchem'. A lot of bands helped with this album and this will be the first time they will be perform their covers live (they will also play their own music). Bands who will be there include , s, and
As part of the promo for this event, TRIX asked a few bands that came to play in the last couple of months to talk about their favorite records (see below for the one with ). You can see all the band interviews on their channel, some are in Dutch, some are in English. Let's hope you can really buy the records they are talking about, but i'm sure it will be a great day anyways. If the fair turnes out to be only half as awesome as it sounds, TRIX should be really proud! And one last word to the wise: bring cash...
