THE IN-STORE FOR TONIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!

We are sorry to say that the Chad VanGaalen event at Sonic Boom this evening is cancelled due to him being under the weather. Sorry for any inconvenience. We hope he gets well soon!

CHAD VANGAALEN IN-STORE CHANGED TO ALBUM SIGINING/DRAWING SESSION

Chad has a cold,  so he is going to save his voice for the show at the Mod Club.  Instead, he will be on site to draw on anything people want to bring down for him. Chad’s inimitable drawings have been on all of his covers and shown around the world, and now is your chance to have one adorning your album, shirt, or whatever household item you’d like to bring.

This is a golden opportunity to own the most badass toaster in the city!

See some of his great art in action below:
