Hello Media Friends:

We’re inviting you to the THE RECORD PARLOUR–the one-of-a-kind vintage vinyl shop and lifestyle store-this coming Saturday, January 9 for two special events. In the morning, starting at 10:30 AM, THE RECORD PARLOUR will launch the first-ever “FREE LP DAY” for 2016. Patrons who spend a minimum of $20.00 will receive access to a free LP area and choose up to 100 LP’s to take home. Later that night, around 8:00pm THE RECORD PARLOUR will welcome The Egyptian Lover, a pioneer in the west coast hip hop scene. Greg Broussard, better known by his stage name of The Egyptian Lover, is an American electro musician, vocalist, producer and DJ, and was an important part of the L.A. scene. He was influenced by the New York electro scene, as well as by the electro-funk of Zapp, The Egyptian Lover’s flat-out party music was dynamite on the dancefloor. Although he began associating with Uncle Jamm’s Army and Radio Crew, it was as a solo artist that he made his impact. “I Need A Freak” and “Egypt Egypt” (1984) became L.A. anthems and his On the Nile was one of the first hip hop albums released on the left coast. Join us for this special live performance starting at 8:00PM. The Egyptian Lover will be selling copies of his new double LP 1984 as well as his classic titles.

THE RECORD PARLOUR is located in the heart of Hollywood. It has an authentic vibe with over 50,000 vinyl records, vintage stereo gear and music memorabilia surrounding artists while they perform and as fans search for vinyl treasures. ABC TV’s “EYE on L.A.” recently featured this new Hollywood landmark; watch the episode here: http://abc7.com/eyeonla.

Let us know if you can attend.

Best,
Libby

About The Record Parlour:

THE RECORD PARLOUR–a vintage vinyl shop and lifestyle store is–a unique place where artists and fans connect. THE RECORD PARLOUR provides a one-of-a-kind environment with an authentic vibe: as artists perform live, they’re surrounded by over 50,000 vinyl records, vintage stereo gear and music memorabilia. THE RECORD PARLOUR is owned and operated by founder Chris Honetschlaeger and manager/partner Chadwick Hemus. With Chris’ background in vintage equipment and Chadwick’s pedigree as a vinyl curator for Amoeba (Hollywood), sound and quality reign overall in performances and selection. They host performances and showcases with proper staging, an incredible sound system and HD video projection for music video premieres. By having only one artist perform per night, THE RECORD PARLOUR creates real connections giving artists time to hang out, visit with their fans and sell their music. This past month, THE RECORD PARLOUR added a third layer and equipped their control room with an Analog Record Lathe to capture and “cut” a band’s Live Performance to vinyl onsite to be distributed at a later date. Literally, artists can come down and play, cut a record on the record lathe, perform it that day to their fans and sell their records. THE RECORD PARLOUR showcases the entire vinyl experience from purchase, performances and production. THE RECORD PARLOUR’s vintage gear offerings–jukeboxes, amps, microphones, ’70s turn-tables and speakers– are refurbished to pristine condition alongside its vinyl collection which focuses on original releases verses new releases. By combining records and vintage equipment as well as creating a new home to music collecting and live music experiences, all in the heart of Hollywood, THE RECORD PARLOUR is more than a vinyl shop–it is ushering in the Hollywood renaissance. After receiving the 2015 award for “#1 Record Store for Artists And Fans” by the LA WEEKLY in their “Best Of L.A.”issue, THE RECORD PARLOUR has a new music and cultural venue for Hollywood: THE AMERICANA LOUNGE, is set to officially open Spring 2016 around the corner from THE RECORD PARLOUR. Read the Billboard story behind the concept for THE AMERICANA LOUNGE (here).
