There sure has been a lot to get excited about on the Rodriguez front as of late, but this is definitely perched high at the top of our list of delights! Searching For Sugar Man has been nominated for Best Documentary at the 2013 Oscars! We imagine it might go a little something like this:

We couldn’t be more pleased. Pick up a copy of the Searching For Sugar Man OST, or Rodriguez’s studio albums, Cold Fact & Coming From Reality at LightInTheAttic.net!

Light In The Attic’s Ten Year Anniversary Recap – Los Angeles

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

As most of you know, Light In The Attic just finished celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary as a label with two epic concerts and the beginnings of an exciting 7″ series. What a wild couple of months.  It’s been a great ten years and we’re so lucky to have y’all right here with us.

For those of you who missed the shows, this here blog post will provide a virtual experience that should help fill the void. If you were there, enjoy this trip down memory lane!

We started out in Los Angeles with a sold out show at the El Rey Theater featuring a pretty insane line up. Stephen John Kalinich, Michael Chapman, Shin Joong Hyun, and Rodriguez all set to take the stage.

Ten years ago, we never thought we’d be celebrating our anniversary in such fantastic way. Walking back stage and seeing Michael Chapman chatting with Stephen John Kalinich and Rodriguez hanging with Shin, it all felt like a strange dream we never wanted to wake up from.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and all of you who have supported us for the last ten years! We can’t wait to see what the next LITA decade has in store. Stay tuned for pictures from our Seattle concert!

Limited edition posters and t-shirts from this show available now at LightInTheAttic.Net.
