WE BOOK SHOWS.

I don't know if anyone who reads this page was in the dark about certain things, but it should be noted (if you don't already know) Hex Records is involved in a bunch of activities aside from writing dumb reviews and releasing records.  One of these aspects has been steadily booking shows in the Syracuse area for close to 20 years now.  I've rarely mingled the label activities with show booking and I'm not really sure why I didn't just put it all under one umbrella of awesomeness, but throughout the Spring and Summer Hex Records has a number of events booked.  So if you're in the Syracuse area please consider checking out one (or more) of these shows:

Friday, May 13th
