Discology

Discology will be closed on Saturday, July 4th and will re-open on Sunday, July 5th at 11am.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Discology is now affiliated with local website Reno Noise. Like Discology, they strongly support local music, but Reno Noise also has the mission to coalesce all local musical artists under one umbrella. They do this by supporting a calendar of events, as well as hosting a growing number of features, articles, information & pictures about many active local musicians/bands. You can also become a member, create a profile and network with other people just like you. Reno Noise can only grow stronger and act as a greater hub for local area musicians if everyone joined in and made some noise.

Discology will be closed on Saturday, Sunday and as usual, Monday for Memorial Day weekend.

We will be open again on Tuesday at 10am and will return to our normal schedule for store hours which includes being open till 7pm Tue. - Sat.

Local band This_Silence_Powerful will be opening for Red on May 28th at the Underground on 4th Street this Thusday, May 28th. It’s all ages.

Discology as well as the band will be selling tickets for less than other outlets including the Underground, so please call David at 775-323-2121 or email Alex on TSPs MySpace page.

Discology has hooked up with Matador Records, one of the finest independent labels ever, to bring you a special promotion that will give you, the buyer, more than just the CD or download.
