Slowtrain Becomes A Label
Posted By Andrea Moore Emmett on March 27, 2010, 1:39 PM
Chris
and Anna Brozek have done so much for the local music community, its
insane to list it all. ---Aside from prominently featuring
locals and turning the small Broadway store into THE hub for all
things indie, the two have become community leaders almost overnight
and have given our music scene a jolt of energy it was starting to
lack just five years ago. So what would be the next step for them?
How about starting their very own record label? 
In a press
release so fresh today that the damn ink hasn't dried yet, the two
will be starting Slowtrain Records, taking from the store's
own namesake, focusing on local releases from musicians and bands of
every stripe. In fact the first release will be the upcoming
full-length album from The Devil Whale this fall, due to be a vinyl
pressing. Slowtrain will also be working with Advanced
Media Solutions to “create many local limited-edition Record Store
Day releases that celebrate the region’s thriving, vibrant scene
and, perhaps, introduces it to a broader audience.”
Speaking
of Record Store Day, while the final lineup (which by word of mouth
already sounds exciting) is being finalized, Slowtrain has other
major plans in mind. Including opening up the Subterranean Lounge, a
temporary relaxing bar where Signed & Numbered used to be, where
customers can chill out between acts. And if the photos I've seen are any indication, this will be the awesome place to hang out this year. Not to mention working with The
Junior League of Salt Lake City to support their causes, who will
also be at Record Store Day handling catering and a raffle with
prizes from local artists and businesses.%uFFFD Not every detail is finalized, but if these two have anything more to say about it, you can bet exciting things are still in store...
