You know about Record Store Day, right? It's a day dedicated to getting folks back to those dusty covens of pure music nerdery-- record stores. Musicians of all sorts release singles and limited releases sold in local record stores nationwide. Depending on your city, it can be a hell of a good time every April. Not to be left out, Marco Benevento has an exclusive 7" single titled "This Is How It Goes" that drops this coming Record Store Day, i.e. this Saturday. Check out the stream here and pick it up this weekend at your local record store. The song features vocals from Kalmia Traver and the band Rubblebucket, a first for Benevento.

Marco Benevento spent this past weekend in Vermont playing a bunch of shows with his usual vigor (which borders on “freaking insane”). In case you weren’t in at the Radio Bean Coffeehouse in Burlington, Vermont this past Friday, they streamed both sets (which really became one big set since the band took a set break lasting all of two minutes in which Benevento turned to his laptop and put on War’s “Low Rider” and then played along with the song shortly thereafter). Benevento is our kind of psycho here at Nextbop so it was a given that we’d post the set here when it became available.

I have a few new videos for you today. The first is from Marco Benevento's gig at Equifunk Express last May in Pennsylvania . The song is "RISD" and the band is Dave Dreiwitz on bass and Andy Borger on drums. The second video is from Grand Pianoramax's June 25th, 2011, appearance at Festival Silencio in Lisbon, Portugal. The song is "Smooth Danger" and the band is Leo Tardin on keys and Dominik Burkhalter on drums.

We here at Nextbop have come to the conclusion, after scouring Marco Benevento’s latest press release, that he does not need sleep or is incapable of it. While that might cause a psychotic break one day, for now we will all revel in his constant album output and exhaustive touring schedule.

You all know I'm not a man of many words. Why talk about Marco Benevento's Montreal show (feat. Dave Dreiwitz on bass and Andrew Borger on drums) if you guys can listen to the whole thing right here? Enjoy! It was a SiCK!
