Sad News from Sweat Records

Miami's well-loved indie record store was vandalized and robbed last night. Sadly, the cost of doing business in an area that's still kind of sketchy. From their website:
The unknown assailants stole everything worth stealing and needlessly trashed this place that we've put so much into. Our store computer, credit card terminal, video projector, entire DJ/sound setup, cash drawer and more are gone.
If you want to chip in towards the recovery they have a paypal account at info@sweatrecordsmiami.com. But Lolo and her gang are resilient, which just shows that you can take the amp out of the store, but you can't steal their spirit.
TUESDAY night's show will go on!! We're borrowing a mic and an amp and our brand-new comedy night - CASA DE HA-HA - will debut as planned. Daniel's got a great variety of local and working comedians lined up so come out for the start of this new monthly happening. The thieves left the espresso machine and the microwave so we'll have drinks, popcorn and treats. Starts at 9pm!!
