Discology

As in previous years, I like to post my top list of favorite listens from the last year and ask that everyone include their list in the comments section. Please make your list as short or long as you would like– there are no wrong lengths for lists. And please feel free to ask each other about particular albums and artists that made it onto someone else’s list. Here we go!

Friday, December 12th at 8:30pm (Doors at 7:30pm) at Studio on 4th.

Tickets are $15 plus $1 service charge– Cash only please.

Get your tickets early! There are only 80 seats and this is expected to sell out before the day of the show– meaning that there likely will be no tickets available at the door.

Tickets are cash only and are $15.00 plus $1.00 service charge per ticket. We carry CDs by Sol’Jibe and Drinking With Clowns on the Local Artist Listening Stations. Come on by and check them out if you’re not familiar with them. Remember, Discology always supports local musicians by giving them back 100% of their sales!

Out Of The Blue

Andrea will have her art on display through the month of November and Discology be hosting a reception for her on Friday, November 7th from 6-9pm. For everyone making a purchase throughout the month of November, they will be qualified to enter a contest for which the prize will be an Andrea Martinez original artwork. The drawing will be held at the end of the month so there will be plenty of opportunities to enter to win. (One entry per person per item purchased.)

The Discology annual halloween Exhibition is ongoing now and will be up for the month of October.

Come one, come all to see the lastes works that aim to scare from our fantastic local artist scene.

The following artists are on display now:

Michael Okimoto

Emily Hoops

Gilbert Leiker

Asa Gilmore

Harry Thomas

Sophie Ralston (A.K.A. Kung Fu Sohie)

Just a reminder that the Rocky Votolato show is at 7:00pm on Monday, July 28th. Even though we are normally closed on Monday’s, we will be open at 6:00pm for everyone’s convenience and so you can get a good seat. As always, Discology events are free. 

Many thanks go out to Rocky for playing at the

biggest little CD Store & Art Gallery in Reno.

Click on the logo below to see what the Discology On-Line Store has in store for you. This is a starting point with many items to come– including many rare, out-of-print, and hard to find titles.

Mark from Mister Vague will be performing a solo set as will Kung Fu Sophie at Discology on Saturday, April 5th at 5:00pm. As always, this is a FREE event, so bring your friends.

Hello,

Discology will be closed from Noon till ??? on Saturday, March 29th due to a personal engagement. It is likely that I will be back to open the store in the late afternoon, but I cannot say for sure when. Please call 323-2121 to see if the store is open.

My apologies for any inconvenience,

David
