Peter Case to Perform Friday July 23 at 5:30 PM

ST. LOUIS: The Euclid Sessions Series of in-store performances is excited to announce that legendary Los Angeles singer/songwriter Peter Case will be performing at Euclid Records at 5:30 pm Friday, July 23. Euclid Records is located at 601 East Lockwood in Webster Groves, MO, just down the street from Webster University.

Peter Case was in the Nerves one of the earliest American New Wave bands outside of New York City. After that, he led the Plimsouls, a power-pop garage rock ensemble whose song “A Million Miles Away” was featured in the hit movie, “Valley Girl.” Case began his solo career in 1986, as his songwriting veered in a more acoustic, folk-based direction, though he would still rock out from time to time. Over the years, he has toured with bands or as a single performer, presenting his insightful and catchy songs to ardent fans around the world. At the end of June, he released his latest album, “Wig!” It’s a spectacularly entertaining rock album. Case will also be performing at 8 pm at Off Broadway later the same night.

This will be the latest in a series of live in-store performances to be followed up by the release of limited-edition 45 rpm singles recorded in the store. Each release is strictly limited to 300 copies, and $1 for each one pressed is donated to the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund (NOMRF) to benefit musicians displaced or suffering loss of equipment in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The performance will be recorded live, and the Sights will choose one or two songs to be released on the 7” single.

Euclid Records has a website devoted to the series:
www.euclidsessions.com. Here you can find out about upcoming in-store events, read up on past events, subscribe to the series or order/pre-order upcoming 45's.

Each release comes in a special package with the back sleeve designed by Firecracker Press, a terrific graphic and letterpress printshop here in St. Louis. Each front cover will be a unique 7 x 7" print, signed and numbered by various graphic artists such as Gary Houston, Guy Burwell, and more, suitable for framing or keeping as a front cover to each single.

The 45s will be sold exclusively through the website of Euclid Records (www.euclidrecords.com). Pricing will vary, as individual packages will each contain unique elements such as colored vinyl, etched vinyl, or other possibilities.
