Description

Apop Records is an audiophile's wet dream. Upstairs, you'll find the most obscure vinyl, CDs, cassettes, zines, mags, pulp books and VHS tapes around. Downstairs, enter the underworld: This blacked out basement is darker than the Devil's armpit, and the unearthly sounds heard therein can either delight or terrify, and oftentimes, both at once. Camp Concentration is a disorienting trip into the mad underworld of experimental, noise, punk, acerbic rock and everything in between. Don't expect a bar or furniture, those things only distract from the music; the only thing by way of decoration is some chicken wire attached to the ceiling that the crowd can grab when the moshing gets a little out of control.

    Why, hello, gray cat. I see you there out of the corner of my eye, perched atop the broken pinball machine at Apop Records on Cherokee. Your feline eyes dart back and forth, following the flippers of High Speed, Apop's other, working pinball machine. It's a shame you don't know there's a glass pane between you and the balls and flippers you stalk. But it's cuter this way. Apop customers can take a break from digging through bins of vinyl, thumbed-through zines and used books on radical... More »

  • 2008 | Best Underground Club

    Located in the musty catacombs below Apop Records in the burgeoning Cherokee district, Camp Concentration is, literally, an underground venue. Such an atmosphere is fitting for the types of the genre-bending, under-the-radar acts that tend to play in the low-lit basement. Everything from seminal noise pioneers to experimental electro and dance-punk outfits can be seen dealing it out for modest but always attentive crowds of teenage loners, young punks, tallboy-sipping twentysomethings and...
