Kings of Leon Grimey’s Signing

5/16 UPDATE - We have limited copies of Can We Please Have Fun available on vinyl and CD for purchase in person, in the shop. We’ve removed stock from our site because our signing event is this afternoon.

5/10, 10PM UPDATE - Due to unforeseen circumstances Kings of Leon has had to reschedule their signing at Grimey's for Thursday, May 16th at 3:00 PM. We understand that this news may complicate your week and your ability to participate in our special Can We Please Have Fun album signing. We're sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you'll still be able to attend our event with the band. Please reach out to us at grimeys.records@gmail.com if you have questions or need assistance in light of this change of events and be sure to reference your preorder number if warranted. Our event description below is updated to reflect this change of events.

We’re super excited to announce that Kings of Leon will be heading to the record store to celebrate the release of their new album Can We Please Have Fun with a special album signing on Thursday, May 16th starting at 3:00 PM! Can We Please Have Fun, the 9th full-length album from the band, documents them cutting loose, trying new things, and, yes, having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse studio in Nashville and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine) the album sees a new side of Kings of Leon. On the new album, the band harkens back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears. It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations, and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make.

To participate in the Kings of Leon album signing, preorder a copy of Can We Please Have Fun on our website here or in the record store and you’ll receive a wristband for our event that you can pick up starting on 5/10. Wristbands are required for the album signing line. Due to time constraints and so as many fans as possible can participate, Kings of Leon will only be signing copies of their new album, Can We Please Have Fun. 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 copies of Can We Please Have Fun 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 Can We Please Have Fun 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 Kings of Leon 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 10th. We encourage you to arrive no earlier than one hour prior to event start time on Thursday, May 16th--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 around 2:00 PM 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 Thursday, 5/16, 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.
