- Poor iPod Classic
On Sunday more than a dozen local record labels will join together at the Empty Bottle for the Chicago Independent Labels Pop-Up Shop. The list of imprints slinging new records and cassettes includes classical-focused Parlour Tapes; the in-house label belonging to Permanent Records; and the eclectic FPE Records, which was founded in 2012 by Matt Pakulski (he also came up with the idea for the pop-up event). “I feel like there’s this critical mass of people that are making new records in Chicago, and there isn’t really a good venue for them to sell the records in,” Pakulski says. “So I decided to make a venue for them to sell records in.”
