Sub Pop Fest tickets, Singles Club subs still up for grabs

The anniversary festivities will commence tomorrow (July 10) with Oral History Live!, during which Sub Pop founding fathers Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman will reflect upon "20 years of not going out of business" (as the Sup Pop website termed it in April). The following evening, Sub Pop will host its SP Comedy Show, featuring David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Eugene Mirman and Todd Barry, hosted by Kristen Schaal. The next two days will be chock full o' Sub Pop artists playing their hearts out, and for a good cause, at that. Artists are playing for free and will donate their respective proceeds to charities of their choice.

In addition to throwing the festival, Sub Pop has been celebrating itself in other ways: namely in the form of special releases and deals on its artists' work. Some party favors from this year-long celebration include the deluxe edition of Mudhoney's Superfuzz Bigmuff that was reissued in May, the Sub Pop 20th Anniversary Sampler released exclusively on iTunes last week, and the triumphant and (sadly) temporary return of the Sub Pop Singles Club. The service will offer (to a limited 1,500 subscribers) one 7" a month for the next year at a flat fee of $75 ($90 for those outside North America). Check here for more details.
