We’re super excited to announce that Cage The Elephant will be heading to the record store to celebrate the release of their new album, Neon Pill, with a special album signing on Tuesday, May 21st starting at 2:00 PM! Neon Pill, the sixth full-length studio album from the band. Comprised of brothers Matt Shultz (vocals) and Brad Shultz (rhythm guitar) along with Daniel Tichenor (bass), Jared Champion (drums), Nick Bockrath (lead guitar) and Matthan Minster (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Cage The Elephant formed just up the road in Bowling Green Kentucky in 2006. They release their first full-length, Cage The Elephant, in 2008 which went on to be designated as Platinum by the RIAA and brought the band international attention and acclaim. We've had the pleasure of hosting Cage The Elephant in the past for an in-store performance (their Live at Grimey's EP was previously available as a CD but is currently out of print) and for an album signing around the release of their GRAMMY award winning Social Cues album. We're stoked to be able to celebrate Neon Pill with them and all of you in the shop!
To participate in the Cage The Elephant album signing, preorder a copy of Neon Pill on our website here or in the record store and you’ll receive a wristband for our event with preorder pickup. Wristbands are required for the album signing line. Due to time constraints and so as many fans as possible can participate, Cage The Elephant will only be two records per attendee, including one copy of Neon Pill. Each customer can order as many as four (4) total copies of their new album on vinyl and/or CD for a total of four wristbands—one wristband per album purchased—allowing for up to four people to participate per order placed. Each individual with a wristband can get as many as two total Cage the Elephant LPs or CDs signed. Wristbands are non-transferable and are required for participation in this event. (Wristbands are not required for those 12 & under if attending with a wristband-holding adult.) If you already purchased Neon Pill through Grimey’s we will have wristbands reserved for you based on the number of albums you initially preordered.
You must be present to participate in our Cage The Elephant album signing. (Sorry but we are unable to have albums signed for mail order or those who order the album but cannot attend.)
Wristbands for this event will be distributed starting on Friday, May 17th. We encourage you to arrive no earlier than one hour prior to event start time on Tuesday, May 21st--everyone who receives a wristband will be able to go through the signing line once, so no need to line up extra early. The signing line will form outside our front entrance and wrap around our building starting at the Paramore Record Store Day mural. Before hopping in line, please be sure to grab your wristband and album from one of the upstairs counters in the record store. This is a rain or shine event, which involves standing in line. Please arrive with that in mind and consider bringing along a tote bag so you won't have to hold your album in your hand during your time in line. If you need assistance or accommodations, please reach out to us via email in advance of Tuesday, 5/21, so we can help.
IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION!
Our parking lot is shared with other rad businesses and it is a finite space, so parking is limited. Another parking option is the pay lot behind Tiger Bar, Elegy Coffee and Mickey's off Gallatin Road, two blocks down the street.
Please use EXTREME CAUTION if parking on the narrow neighborhood streets. Too many cars make these roads impassable and result in angry neighbors, the police calls, tickets and towing.
We don’t want to anger or disrespect any of our neighbors. If you block access to driveways, mail boxes, or park legally on both sides of a street , making it essentially impassable, you will be ticketed or towed.
Please consider carpooling, ride-sharing, walking, biking, scooting, roller skating, or taking the bus to attend this Grimey’s event.
