Grizzly Bear at KCRW Cover

Tons of artists are doing special appearances and releasing limited edition vinyl and other goodies that can only be purchased at independently owned record stores in honor of Record Store Day, THIS Saturday, April 18. KCRW Music Librarian Eric J Lawrence tells me that Grizzly Bear’s February 2008 performance on KCRW is one of the most requested sessions we’ve had here. While ALL our performances are available for viewing/listening in the archives, fans loved their performance so much they wanted to own it. And now they can.

Grizzly Bear is releasing a 7-inch “Live on KCRW” single of “While You Wait for the Others,” which they debuted on the show and later became one of Spin Magazines Top 20 Songs of 2008. They are also including their cover of the Carole King-penned song “He Hit Me,” which appeared on their “Friends” album.  

Pick it up on Saturday!

p.s.: The album version of “He Hit Me” was previously offered as a freebie from KCRW as part of Today’s Top Tune. If you haven’t already signed up, you should! We often include tracks that are otherwise unavailable, remixes, new releases and tons of other great stuff.
