Lohio returns Feb. 16 to The Rudyard Kipling, 422 W. Oak St. 636-1311.

As part of the fourth annual Record Store Day on April 16, Coliseum and Superchunk will release a split 7-inch of Misfits covers, with Superchunk taking on “Horror Business” and Coliseum contributing a version of “Bullet.” Two members of Superchunk — Mac MacCaughan and Laura Ballance — founded Merge, the influential Chapel Hill record label that has released albums from Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel and Mountain Goats. Coliseum singer/guitarist Ryan Patterson helms Auxiliary Records, which released Coliseum’s early albums. Record Store Day has built its reputation on one-off specialty releases like this — there will be others, so visit www.recordstoreday.com, then visit a record store. Coliseum performs Friday, Feb. 18 at Mag Bar (1398 S. Second St., 637-9052) with Sweet Cobra and Prideswallower. Doors open at 9 p.m., and cover is $6.
