The Record Machine Year in Review: Middle of the Map Fest 

Well in addition to one of our highlight’s of last year we are also proud to announce Middle of the Map Fest is coming back! The dates will be April 5th - 7th. Which will include an extra date of bands and more. 

Also we are allowing the first 250 people to get a ticket at last year’s price! So act now and get one as a Holiday Gift.

It really was one of the most amazing things that happened last year. The Record Machine was able to invite a lot of really great bands and musicians to play a festival here in Kansas City. Well a ton of them said yes to us. Among those bands were hero’s of ours like Daniel Johnston, Cursive, Appleseed Cast, Casket Lottery and so many more. We have a ton to live up to but we are excited for that opportunity! 

The Record Machine Year In Review - Max Justus - Whatss

A month ago I made a best of 2011 playlist for my itunes. I included several songs and albums that I loved and then I just put that on my iphone for my drive to work. This morning on the way to work this song came in and I was really excited to hear it because I thought it would be the perfect track to feature today. Max has been making music on the label for 3 years now and in that time we have released a lot of great music for him. This year alone we released a full length called Mercy and an ep called Signs & Wonders. Both releases are fantastic. I am really excited for Max’s next chapter of releases with a full band. 

The Record Machine Year in Review: Lazy - Birthday Letters

2011 has been a great and varied year for us and I wanted to take this final part of the year to highlight songs and events over the course of the year that we did. Way back in January we released a 7” for the band Lazy. I fell in love with them at first sound and when I heard Birthday Letters I knew it would be one of my favorite tracks of 2011. 

Get Lazy’s self titled debut on itunes or 7”. 

We are doing a Holiday Party with our friends at Golden Sounds Records between Christmas and New Years. Come out and see some cool bands and maybe have some holiday drinks. I am going to see what I can do about having some sort of Eggnog on the menu. 

The show is at the Record Bar on 12/30

w/ The Empty Spaces, Fullbloods, Motorboater and Believers.
