The Record Exchange is a proud sponsor of the second annual Idaho Horror Film Festival, taking place Oct. 15-18 throughout Downtown Boise.

The state’s premier genre film festival, the Idaho Horror Film Festival is a non-profit international film exhibition whose mission is to shine a spotlight on Idaho’s emerging filmmakers. The genre of horror is the common thread that has stitched itself into the fabric of the filmmaking community. Through the mediums of independent film, food, music, literature and art, IHFF strives to expand the cultural experience within Boise’s vibrant community. The festival aims to develop a supportive framework for Idaho’s emerging filmmakers with the mission of providing more access to resources and education for individuals wanting to explore the medium of film. By strengthening the film making community in Idaho, we will fan the flames of creativity and set Idaho’s film industry ablaze.

The festival is currently accepting films in five categories: Feature Length, Animated, Shorts, Foreign and the “locals only” classification of Spud and Guts. Spud and Guts is a no-fee contest designed to promote our native filmmakers. The Idaho Horror Film Festival is the launch pad for Idaho filmmakers.

FIRST THURSDAY, OCT. 1: LED MUSIC/DANCE PERFORMANCE

_Q2A8868retBridgeJoin us on First Thursday, Oct. 1, for a special music/dance performance by LED at 6 p.m. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages.

LED is a bold new arts organization with collaboration at its core. Within their performances they create visceral worlds where music, dance and visuals collide. For their first Thursday performance at The Record Exchange, they’ll be performing excerpts from their evening-length work, This Side of Paradise, to be premiered at the Morrison Center Oct. 10. A collaborative work between Andrew Stensaas and Ryan Peck of Edmond Dantes and choreographer/dancer Lauren Edson (formerly of the Trey McIntyre Project), This Side of Paradise draws inspiration from the tumultuous relationship of Zelda and F.Scott Fitzgerald for a performance that “blends a sophisticated score, riveting movement and stunning visuals” (Seattle Times).

ABOUT LED

Through a fusion of artistic mediums, LED reawakens the performing art experience with live original music, movement, sound and visual design. Our collaborators transform traditional and non-traditional spaces into a visceral world to transcend the artist/audience relationship.

LED stands for innovation, malleability and leadership. Based on the principles of the Light Emitting Diode for its innovation in the 21st century, the chemical element of Lead (PB) for its strength and malleability, and Leadership. All of these principles dictate the foundational format of this company’s artistic purpose, which is to innovate and change the way collaborative arts are perceived and how they influence. We are leaders in the progression of not only community-based collaborations, but national ones as well.

Screen Shot 2015-09-27 at 10.47.21 PMimage011For the second year in a row, RED Distribution has teamed with an array of artists to offer limited-edition exclusive pink vinyl versions of new and recent albums for the Ten Bands One Cause fundraiser, and The Record Exchange is celebrating with a listening party on Tuesday, Sept. 29 (6pm)!

Join us to hear tracks from the albums and enjoy free Ten Bands One Cause cupcakes (pink cake, pink icing and chocolate drizzle) from New York City’s Baked By Melissa! We’ll also have silkscreened posters (pictured, right) to give out free with purchase of any of the titles.

Last year during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, RED along with its account, artist and label partners raised nearly $30,000 for Gilda’s Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. It is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who passed away from the disease at the age of 43 in 1989. In 2015, a new crop of artists and labels are coming to the table to grow this campaign — at least $1 from each album sold will go to Gilda’s Club NYC.

Run The Jewels – Run the Jewels 2
Sturgill Simpson – Metamodern Sounds in Country Music
