Some of you are no doubt old enough to have seen the vinyl record shrink from mass culture necessity to semi-precious, hipper-than-ever boutique subculture niche. Being home to one of the world’s last remaining vinyl pressing plants, United Records, and one of the world’s most infamous purveyors of grooved collectibles — Third Man Records — Nashville is pumping out so much vinyl lately, some labels have to go a little above and beyond to get a little attention.
Owned and operated by a former couple split between Music City and Chattanooga, Memetic Society has released a substantial collection of hand-crafted singles by local bands, including but not limited to Nite Nite, Faux Ferocious and Majestico (all of which were available for free upon admission). The latter act was first on Friday night’s showcase at The Basement.
