CITY OF SHIPS
free in-store performance
TUESDAY, JULY 24th @ 8pm

It's heavy. It's dynamic. It's gritty yet precise, a giant wall of layered guitars and raging drums. It's a little technical and a lot melodic. This trio manages to deliver an effort of staggering thickness, congenial sadness, and wandering cosmic acceptance.

THIN LIZZY
"THIN LIZZY" LP REISSUE LISTENING PARTY
TUESDAY, JULY 10th 7-9PM
 Light in the Attic is doing the first official reissue of the self-titled Thin Lizzy LP from 1971. Rich in vibe and vibrations, Thin Lizzy is the type of record one hangs on to. Including certified underground classics like "Honesty Is No Excuse," "Look What The Wind Blew In," and "Return Of The Farmer's Son" one can see why original Decca copies are prized possessions. Now is your chance to enjoy this crucial music at a reasonable price. To sweeten the pot, the lowdown is as follows: It comes as a nice package with 180g vinyl remastered from the original tapes, in a deluxe gatefold with both original Decca and London covers, extensive liner notes and an 18x24" poster!
