How the swap works
track listing-
Make something
Draw something, staple together a zine, print some photos, write a poem, or make a bracelet. Burning a mix CD and writing the tracklist in Sharpie counts too.
-
Keep it carry-out sized
Make it small enough to take home from a bar, so roughly flyer-sized or smaller. You'll want both hands free once the bands start.
-
Trade it for a Headless CD-R
Find us at our merch table and hand over your piece. We'll hand you a limited edition CD-R that we burned and labeled ourselves.
-
Keep swapping
The Kinetic Stereokids and Past Dog Beach will have their own stuff to swap, so trade with them too, and with each other. You'll probably leave with more than you brought.

The CD-R
What's on it?
That's a secret until you're holding one. It's a small run that we're burning and labeling by hand, and what's on it isn't available anywhere else.
Does my thing count?
If you made it, it counts. Nobody is grading anything, and a mix CD with a doodled cover is just as welcome as a painting. Some ideas:
- mix CDs
- zines
- drawings
- collages
- photos
- poems
- stickers
- bracelets
- buttons
- tiny paintings
Didn't make anything?
You can still get one. Every merch purchase at our table comes with a CD-R while they last.

not required, highly encouragedDig out the studded belt, charge the flip phone, and bring the disposable camera. This is how a lot of us found music in the first place, by trading burned CDs with people at shows.
