Wiretap Music Covers Comp Release Tonight
April 9, 2009
Our friends at Wiretap Music are celebrating the release of Covers, their new local music compilation, tonight at Cafe du Nord. This two-disc comp features one disc of covers and one of originals from lots of great local bands – but it’s even cooler because they cover each other! And to celebrate, they brought together a fantastic lineup: The Lovely Public, Battlehooch and Schande.
