Mercy Lounge and Brooklyn Brewery are proud to announce YOU CAN’T DROWN THE LOUD SOUND, a benefit for famed Brooklyn garage rock label Norton Records, whose warehouse was ravaged by Superstorm Sandy. In addition to seeing nearly a quarter million records submerged by six feet of water, they also experienced invaluable damage to musical instruments, master tapes, over one hundred thousand spare record jackets, thousands of vintage paperbacks, magazines, photographs, and posters, as well as Norton artist files and correspondences going back thirty years.
This fundraising show will feature performances from The Ettes, The A-Bones (with Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo and original sax player Lars Espensen), Daddy Long Legs and Weekend Babes, as well as a special late night performance from Har Mar Superstar. Tickets will be $15 at the door, but a limited amount of $10 presale tickets will be available at Grimey’s New & Preloved Music, The Groove Record Shop, and Parlour and Juke Hair Salon .
