Why you should check out SBR’s CMJ Shocase at Pianos on Oct 21st

For the third year running Serious Business Records will be hosting a CMJ label showcase. Andy Ross and I started Serious Business in 2004 and since then we’ve put out over thirty records from our best and most talented friends. Last year our showcase elicited this commentary from All Music Guide: “You have to love a record label that isn’t driven by profits, hipness, or some misguided attempt to capture and define a style.” I like that quote. What we’re doing is all about love. This year we’re lobbing an impressive collection of sweet new releases in your lap, including a limited edition 10″ from the Homosexuals, new albums from Looker, Benji Cossa, Higgins, Rocketship Park, the Two Man Gentlemen Band and Secret Dakota Ring plus a bevy of singles, EPs, odds and sods, big hits. Our website offers a smorgasbord of free MP3s and it is fun to navigate so go there and take your shoes off.

Join us on Tuesday October 21st as we celebrate an excellent year in Business. Come early and stay all night. The show will run on time.
