Record shop coming to East Austin
Longtime Waterloo Records clerk Spot (not the former SST producer) hopes to open Trailer Space Records next door to East Side Pies (1401 Rosewood Ave.) by the end of January. Record bins will be moved in Wednesday.
“Remember when record stores were fun places to hang out?” Spot asks rhetorically, “where you’d get turned onto records that would change your life? We want Trailer Space to be that kind of place.”
Trailer Space, which had originally planned to open at the corner of Pedernales and Cesar Chavez streets last year but got tangled in red tape, will focus on vinyl and in-store appearances. Spot says he envisions the Space as an occasional live music venue, beginning with the Golden Boys show Feb. 22. The shop will team with East Side Pies and Bearded Lady Printing to host a free outdoor stage during SXSW.
