Rory Erickson Pre-Party with DJ Turquoise Wisdom + Hits & Mrs.
Black Boar – Eagle Rock, CA
5/17/10

Two new guests will be joining Big Freak resident DJs Chris Ziegler, Short Shorts and Time Child tonight in celebration of tomorrow’s Rory Erickson performance at the Henry Fonda. One is Turquoise Wisdom aka Zach Cowie, who has deejayed for the likes of Animal Collective and the Dodos. And the other is Hits and Mrs. aka David Donahue, who specializes in 45s from undiscovered dimensions (or flea markets in Morocco). Special deals include Evan Williams whiskey and a 24-oz. PBR can for $8 and the usual $3 shots + $3 wells from 11:00 to 12:00.

Check out Chris’ Rory Erickson rarities mix here (some very secret stuff, including the now-leaked Black Angels song) and the Hits and Mrs. mixtape here.
