Cassettes Won't Listen @ BK Industries: Another Sunny Day

This past weekend, Brooklyn Industries hosted not one, not two, but six mini-gigs from TMS fave, Cassettes Won't Listen. I was lucky enough to catch the first of the bunch at Cobble Hill's Atlantic Avenue location. The 20 minute sets promoted CWL's new T-shirt design (availably exclusively at BI locations) as well as his new release, Small-Time Machine. Alongside selections from the aforementioned EP, Cassettes performed a duo of covers from his One Alternative collection ('Cut Your Hair' & 'Change'). All in all, a splendid way to spend a sunshiny spring afternoon. Purchase the snazzy top here. Visit Cassettes Won't Listen at his official MySpace page. Enjoy a dazzling CWL remix at bottom of post.
