Marvel has the Avengers, DC has the Justice League, and New West has Analog – a partnership between Steel & Oak Brewing Co. and the Arts Council of New Westminster bent on bringing the city an afternoon of live music, record shopping and beer.
Analog: Pop Up Vinyl Shop is a one-day event hosted by Steel & Oak and the arts council. Independent record labels from across the Lower Mainland will be on hand selling albums as part of the pop-up shop. Labels expected to be onsite include: La Ti Da Records, Northern Electric, Scrape Records, and New West’s very own Bully Studios Inc.
For those searching for a classic release, Music Madhouse Records and Highlife Records will also be selling vinyl at the brewery.
“At Steel & Oak we like to think that we have the best vinyl collection in the beer industry, so partnering with the arts council to bring local indie acts and labels to our brewery for a day of vinyl shopping seemed like a perfect fit,” Jorden Foss, co-owner of Steel & Oak, said in a press release.
The event will also feature live music by Sarah Wheeler, 2-Bit Horse with special guest Jimmy Roy, and a DJ set by Dale Davies. Plus This Little Piggy Catering will be dropping by in their food truck in case anyone gets hungry.
The pop-up shop is planned for Sunday, Oct. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. at the brewery, 1319 Third Ave. For more info, check out Steel & Oak’s Facebook page here.
