Beggars Group USA

To help get you out there as excited for the new Mark Lanegan Band album Blues Funeral as we are, we’ve set up a bunch of listening parties hopefully very, very near you at some of America’s best independent record stores.

But if you go to one of these parties, there’s a very good chance you will not walk out empty handed.

First off, we sent each of these stores a test pressing of the vinyl album that will be played at the listening party. And then when the album is finished playing, each store will pick one winner at the listening party who gets to take that test pressing home.

Then, anyone who preorders Blues Funeral at the listening party will get a signed 7″ of “The Gravedigger’s Song.” Of course, Mark could only sign so many so these are limited at each store, so get there and preorder early.

What more could you ask for? Find all participating stores after the jump.
