Hip in Detroit's Picks for the Weekend: April 19-21, 2024

 

Friday, April 19th - Against the Grain @ Outer Limits Lounge: Against the Grain shows are few and far between these days, so don't miss your chance to see them play this Friday night at Outer Limits Lounge! They will be joined by Iron Mountain and Unabomb. Doors open at 8 p.m. and cover is $15. There's no presale for this one, so make sure you get there early! 

Saturday, April 20th - Village Vinyl 7 Year Anniversary and Grand Reopening: This Saturday is Record Store Day, so that means there are a lot of great new releases and re-releases hitting the bins at your favorite Record Stores. But, this is an extra special day for Village Vinyl because they're also celebrating their 7 Year Anniversary and their Grand Reopening. The shop has moved into a much bigger space, up the road from their old location, on Van Dyke in Sterling Heights (south of 15 Mile). They'll be opening their doors at 8 a.m. this Saturday, doing giveaways to the first 30 customers with a purchase, and they'll have additional giveaways & free snacks throughout the day. Plus they'll have 20% OFF select items and 10% OFF everything else. (If you get there early, grab breakfast at The Pantry down the sidewalk. Their omelettes are amazing!)
