Ben Holsclaw has just released his 4-years-in-the-works CD under the moniker Echopeople. The CD, A Soldier’s Fortune, boasts 8 tracks of metal goodness in the vein of Iron Maiden, Queensryche and Megadeth. You can sample the CD in it’s entirety at Discology at the Local Artist Listening Station or sample a few songs at the MySpace site for Echopeople: www.myspace.com/echopeoplearehere

Echopeople: A Soldier’s Fortune is available at Discology for $10 plus tax.

As an FYI: For those who like to keep their who’s-who in music-trivia up to date, then you should know that Ben was the guitarist of local fav and funk-rock monolith Tasty Red Snapper.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Discology will be open special hours on Monday, December 24th, from 10am to ???. As you know we are usually closed on Mondays, but we all have a little last minute shopping to do so come by early. If there’s no business, then we may decide to close earlier than 5pm, but it all depends on what the customer’s needs are.

There will be a special edition of Retroshock on 97.3 Bob FM that I will be co-hosting with Willie on Saturday, December 22nd from 10pm till Midnight. There will be a few songs that can’t be passed up, but also a few lesser known songs by some of great artists and bands including the Cocteau Twins, The Cranes, Chris Isaac, and VAST. Surely, not to be repeated…

Discology has many ideas to offer the music lover on your gift-giving list including: 

new releases on CD (as well as inexpensive used CDs),

cool black Discology T-Shirts, &

rechargeable Gift Cards.

And don’t let the fact that we’re less than two weeks away from Christmas slow you down because we can still order some last minute CDs if the order is placed before Sunday, December 16th at 5pm.

Come by Discology this weekend–we’re open 10am-7pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday.

Don’t forget that Discology can special order almost anything you’re looking for. This goes for new releases as well as older, rare or out of print titles. Please call, come by or email us for your request. Check the About tab for all store info.

Best of all, it’s FREE!

Discology is celebrating it’s first year in business by having a party on Friday, November 23rd from 6-9pm. Come one, come all and snack on something other than leftover turkey and cranberry sauce! And it’s FREE. We will be also exhibiting the “Thank You Show” for all of the artists that exhibited this year with a new group show. We also plan on having a couple of DJs in house to spin some good ol’ spanking vinyl.

Thanks to everyone for the support over the past year and making my dream come true. Viva La Discology!!!
