In case you didn't get the mix tape, or if you did get it and wanted to see all the names of the people and songs on it, here's the list. I'll be making this playlist available to area businesses soon, too, so more poeple can start listening to local awesomeness.

Our Mayfly retail pop-up store/experiment sold over $1,000 of local indie music and art in just one day!

Whether you were there with us on February 28th or not, we'd love to have you join us online as we sell some of the remaining Mayfly stock using Subports, a nifty new text-to-buy service.

It's super simple to set up an account, and the artists make money, and the site also looks cool:

Just saying. Thank you to everyone who as there, everyone who wishes they could have been there, and everyone who's still reading this message.
cheers,
Mayfly

Here's our flyer, designed by Emily Raw, who also designed our logo.

Mayfly press release

2010-01-30T14:23:00.000-08:00

For immediate release.

Pop-up record store Mayfly lives for one day in Greenpoint's Kill Devil Hill, devoted to the vibrant local independent creative community.

On Sunday, February 28th from noon until 8 PM, Kill Devil Hill (170 Franklin Avenue) will metamorphose into Mayfly, a record store, performance space, and art gallery formed by a coalition of New York City musical and visual artists. Mayfly will feature a full day of live performances from Luke Wesley, Bryan Dunn, Paul Basile, Andi Rae Healy, Matt Jones, Lara Ewen, and many more (full artist list to follow), as well as photographs of local musicians by Cameron Sterling, Jen McManus, Katrina Baldwin, and Emily Raw. Emblazoned "Listen Local", limited edition t-shirts hand printed by Masha Gvozdov will be available for one day only, and listening stations will allow customers to burn their own mixes or just sample the remarkable diversity of the local music scene. All proceeds will go directly to the creators themselves, many of whom will double as staff.

The brainchild of Brooklyn artist Emily Raw and Brooklyn musician Lara Ewen, Mayfly is made possible by the innovative retail team behind Kill Devil Hill, which is allowing artists to rent out its space day-by-day until its critically acclaimed one-of-a-kind antique shop reopens on April 1, 2010.

For more information, contact Lara Ewen at press@unstrungmusic.com.
