Grasshopper Records opens tonight!

Making the most of his Maynards' Sour Patch Kids ad campaign notoriety, Grasshopper mainman and popular nightclub selecta Derek "Luke" Madison has decided to open a record shop  – yep, you guessed it – Grasshopper Records.

Ideally located at 1167 Dundas St. West near Ossington, Toronto's newest vinyl emporium is having a soft opening tonight (Friday, April 27) from 7 pm to 12 midnight which seems perfectly appropriate since today also happens to be Derek's birthday. Along with a performance by Rituals, there will be DJ sets courtesy of Alphonse from Azari & III, Mikey Apples, Brendan Canning and others. Drinks are cheap and the records will be cool.
