Tweedy in store at Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis today — 5/4


Recommended Posts

For anyone in St. Louis today, it looks like Tweedy (the band, or at least some of the members) are playing an in store sometime today at Vintage Vinyl, which is down the street from the Pageant as I recall. Don't know what time. Someone go and report back! Wish I could be there... :wave

 

Saw a post on Spencer's Instagram about it, and coincidentally he's also "taking over" the Solid Sound Instagram today apparently. Social media, ftw!

The in-store is at 2PM.  It's a stripped down appearance of Tweedy from what I've heard. There is also an album signing. Just him and Spence. They have been giving out wristbands for the past two days.  They're website said they had 50+ left as of yesterday at 1pm, however my gf went around 9pm last night and scored 2.  There is also a bad ass poster up for it.  It says Tweedy and has a list of song names from Suekierae scattered throughout it.   When I went there yesterday morning to get the wristbands there is a window display with pics of him and spence and the entire store has been stocked with multiple of every Wilco LP and lots n lots of Suekierae vinyl!  I'm excited planning on leaving soon!

I was wrong it was the whole band (Tweedy) plus Liam's sister who sang backing vocals on a couple songs.  it was 4 songs from Suekierae, a Mavis Staples song, and a Neil Young cover.  I went about an hour early and was right in front of the band.  I thought it would be a mad house but it looked like half the record store was filled.  There was an awesome exclusive poster for the show and Tweedy hung out with Spence and signed whatever.  I thought Suekierae was the most appropriate obviously.   Tweedy joked around a lot!  Talked about how he use to work for Vintage Vinyl and his old boss reminded him that his car wouldn't make it in when it was too hot outside and apparently when it was too cold.  There was a joke about Darren being his longest friend however he had no evidence if he actually was the "longest" guy he knows.  It was really cool!

 

It was really cool to see Tweedy and then a sold out GA Wilco show right after! What a day!  I also saw a handful of friends I met at the Ryman in October at Vintage Vinyl.  Great Fans!  Hey Sara hope you had a fantastic birthday!
