Helsing Junction Sleepver

Summer 2010 might just be the summer of K Recs. Last month, they launched the Zip-Pak, a digital-only singles club featuring never-before-released, remixed, and one-offs from label-signed artists and visiting bands. This month, the Olympia-based label hosts the Sixth Annual Helsing Junction Sleepover, a music festival of sorts held on an organic farm in rural southern Thurston County. That natural and sustainable setting is reason enough to attend, but the K Recs lineup this year is in a league of its own. Tender Forever, Japanther, Electric Sunset, Kimya Dawson, and the Hive Dwellers–that’s the newest band led by label founder Calvin Johnson–are all slated to perform. Plus, there’s camping, picnicking, swimming, and underground films. Oh, and here’s the kicker: a three-day pass is only 30 bucks. With LAKE, Christmas, Polka Dot Dot Dot, Danny Kelly, Angelo Spencer, Arrington de Dionyso, Joey Casio, Razz M Tazz, Gary May. PAIGE RICHMOND
