Just a little reminder to anyone who cares about music that Sangsang Madang’s annual Label Market is now open. Running until Feb. 4, the Label Market is your best chance each year to discover and buy Korean indie music, with a slew of music-related concerts and events going on.
Sangsang Madang is the arts-related group sponsored by KT&G (huzzah for tobacco and ginseng), most famous for its big, Skeksis-looking building:
See what I mean? No? It’s just me? Fine, moving on then…
Anyhow, the gallery on the second floor is completely lined with CDs from all the major indie labels in Korea and it is open every day until 7pm. Plus there’s still a whole bunch of concerts coming, such as:
Jan. 5 at 6pm – Kim Mok-in, Kang A-sol, Big Pony, Big Baby Driver
Jan. 12 at 6pm – E-Visor, Isang-ui Nalgae (Wings of the Isang), Juck Juck Grunzie, Hwang Boryung=Smacksoft

And there’s plenty more, going until the end of January.
