Handsome Boy Modeling School & more playing free Brooklyn Bowl Record Store Day party
Saturday, April 23 is Record Store Day, and one of the exclusive releases available this year is a vinyl reissue of So… How's Your Girl?, the 1999 debut album from Handsome Boy Modelling School (aka Prince Paul and Dan the Automator).
