[We’re not in L.A., but you might be.]

This weekend’s non-Coachella show options (including tonight’s EP release party for the Damselles & the TC4) can be found here.

Make sure to head on down to your favorite local spots to grab some exclusive vinyl and catch some solid sets in honor of Record Store Day. Here a quick run-down of the exclusive events going on around L.A. on Saturday, April 16:

‣ Amoeba (Hollywood) – The store opens around 8 a.m., but starting at 11, you’ll be able to get RSD silk-screened T-shirts on behalf of ANTI-, Epitaph Records and Family Industries. Donations will go toward Doctors Without Borders. Evidence will be there to chat about music at noon. Henry Rollins will be spinning at 2 p.m. While that happens, free tickets to the screening of “Beastie Boys Hot Sauce Committee Part Two” will be given to those who pre-order the album. At 4 p.m., F*cked Up will DJ.

‣ Fingerprints (Long Beach) – Keith Morris of OFF! will be playing DJ from 2:00-3:00 p.m.. While Morris spins, F*cked Up makes their 2nd RSD appearance. Also if you’re there to pre-order “Beastie Boys Hot Sauce Committee Part Two,” you’ll get free tickets to the theatrical screening (while they last). However, the highlight is the Foo Fighters’ in-store performance. Grohl and his posse play at 5 p.m. but it is completely sold out. If you’re a fan of Brett Dennen, you may still be able to grab a spot for his 7 p.m. in-store performance. Call ahead.

‣ Origami Vinyl (Echo Park) – Although Nick T had to cancel his in-store performance due to unforeseen timing conflicts, there will be a “Super Secret Guest” on at 2 p.m., and the Growlers of Long Beach will be taking the stage up in the loft at 8. You can find their batch of RSD exclusives here.

‣ Vacation Vinyl Music (Silver Lake) – Guest DJs spinning all day, including sets from DJ Eyad (10-12), Matthewdavid of Dublab and Leaving Records (12-3), M. Gedes Gegrass of Not Not Fun. RVNG Int  (3:30-5) and Amanda Brown also of Not Not Fun and 100% Silk (7-9). Highlight: Listening preview of the new Dangerbird release from the One AM Radio [see “Sunlight” and “Everything Falls Apart”] album hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway at 3 p.m.. Their multiple lists of RSD exclusives can be found here.

And if you are here at Coachella, you can check out what the desert’s got going on for Record Store Day.

By the way, this list includes quite a few RSD exclusives we wouldn’t mind picking up.
