OFFSET FEST

For all of you Londoners who wince at the thought of roughing the British summer in a poorly constructed discount tent at music festivals, don't fear.

Offset Festival is happening just a hop, skip and a tube ride away from you on the central line in Hainault Forest Country Park, allowing even you festival grinches 2 days of rad music with an easy cop out route home.
No excuses.

You can buy day, weekend or weekend with camping tickets in store from Rough Trade East

A FLYING NUN HAS FLOWN ACROSS THE SEAS

After waiting at the postroom like kids on christmas eve,
our Flying Nun shipment has finally arrived.
With gems from the New Zealand legends The Chills and The Clean,
to the underground heroes Bailterspace and The Gordons,
we are stocked to the gills with this legendary label.
And brace yourself... we have got our sticky little paws on a handful of the
Flying Nun 25th Anniversary boxsets. They are so super limited. Once they are gone, they are gone. So move fast.
No wonder Morr Music put out a collection of covers versions of these treats
from down under.
A real treat. No sheep jokes please.

ROUGH TRADE DJS @ GREEN MAN FESTIVAL

We're so excited about going to the Green Man festival in a couple of weeks' time. In addition to our stall, we'll be playing records at the Green Man Pub - come and join us at 1:30am on the friday night (when the bands have finished!). We'll be playing psych, folk, kraut, rock, roll and everything in between....

You can read more about it here.

See you there!

5MA

We're so excited about receiving our first delivery of records from 5MA. The Irish label specialises in beautifully packaged (screenprints, photographs, letterpress, boxes and fabric to name a few of their fancies) lathe cuts. Current artists to have been given the 5MA treatment include Richard Youngs, Loren Connors, Boduf Songs and Cursillistas, with Six Organs of Admittance, TwinSisterMoon, Gary Higgins and Suishou no Fune (amongst others!) coming up.
Music has never felt so special...

ROUGH TRADE @ THE LEGION 26/08/09
