Hey buddy, you a spy? Wait, don’t answer that, I don’t want to blow your cover. LOL, just kidding, you can tell me. No, wait, on second thought, don’t tell me. I’m getting visions of you coming back later and going to town on me with your Walther PPK. Hahaha, shaken not stirred, am I right?
Anyway, let’s say maybe you are a spy, maybe you’re not. Either way, I’ll bet you’re a music fan. So there’s this festival I just heard of through some super secret channels, and it’s called the Third Annual Spy Music Festival, and I’d say it’s right up your dark alley where you take your victims before you garrote them. It’s put on by Northern Spy Records, but this year, for the first time, they’re totally going to let southern spies in, too, so no worries on that front. It’s going on between Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 in New York, and it features artists trained in the art of international subterfuge like Thurston Moore, Loren Connors, Charles Gayle, Seaven Teares, and Diamond Terrifier. There will also be DJ sets and more Northern Spy merch than your tiny, secretive fingers will be able to carry. Tickets for each day are $10 and you can pick up them from the festival page.
And get this! Sorry, I’ll lower my voice, wouldn’t want to be overheard. Get this: Northern Spy is putting on the festival in partnership with both Six Point Brewery and yours truly, Tiny Mix Tapes! So cool! On Sunday, your $10 ticket even gets you a free beer from Six Point. What’s more, as part of a special promotion, your tickets for both days of the fest entitle you to a free one-year subscription to Tiny Mix Tapes’ signature mix of music, movies, comics, and hard-hitting news coverage! Email spamfolder@tinymixtapes.com for more details on this once-in-a-lifetime offer.
