Sweat Records: New Releases + New Night!!

Hey Friends,

It's an awesome day for new releases, and we've got tickets to hot upcoming shows!! Scroll down to see what we've got for you...

Big thanks to everyone who came out to Rag Trade's grand opening bash on Saturday!! It was such a nice feeling to see all kinds of people (including lots of other local business owners) supporting a new, eco-friendly store in Miami. If you still haven't heard, hit up myspace.com/ragtradeco.

There are TWO reasons to mark your calendar for Saturday, February 3rd:

1. Tate's Comics and The Bear and Bird Gallery present "FOR THE LOVE OF MUNNY" vinyl toy art show!! Come see all the cute little monkeys people painted, decorated and customized. I even made one too, it's glittery... 7pm, full info in the listings.

2. Then, we're super proud to announce we've got a new weekly party starting up!! CIRCA SATURDAYS begins February 3rd at the newly renovated Circa28 (aka the old Slak Lounge/Two Last Shoes on N Miami Ave and 28th St). There's going to be chilling and lounging downstairs, and a seriously awesome dance party upstairs. Plus, drink specials, cool movies projected on the walls, live music, and no cover!! For the inaugural night we've got a special performance by one of our favorites - THE DOWN HOME SOUTHERNAIRES!! More info below, and you can also connect with us at myspace.com/circasaturdays. We promise good times.



Cheers,
Lolo + the Sweat crew
