A longtime Broad Ripple record store is expanding both its physical space and its presence in the community.<\/p>\n Indy CD and Vinyl will host a grand reopening Oct. 18 and 19 to unveil its new all-ages venue next-door to the Broad Ripple shop. The space, dubbed The 808 both for its street address of 808 Broad Ripple Ave. and the pitched drum machine that underscores rap and hip-hop music, will revive the business\u2019 dormant tradition of hosting in-store performances.<\/p>\n Record Stores: <\/strong>Vinyl variants are latest record store craze. How Indy shops handle the demand<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The 808 is in the former location of Landsharks bar and nightclub, where a shooting left one dead and five others injured in March 2024. The bar permanently closed after the shooting, and the space has sat vacant ever since. \u00a0<\/p>\n Indy CD and Vinyl owners Andy and Annie Skinner said they were \u201cstunned and heartbroken\u201d after what transpired next to their store, but they said the events spurred them into action.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter processing the loss, we realized we had a responsibility,\u201d the Skinners said in a press release. \u201cWe could either keep doing what we were doing \u2014 or we could step up and help redefine what this neighborhood could be.\u201d<\/p>\n Holliday Hog: <\/strong>Little piggy loose at Holliday Park went to Oinking Acres<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The 808 will revive Indy CD and Vinyl\u2019s in-store shows, which faded about five years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic. Artists like Mumford and Sons<\/a>, Death Cab for Cutie and Courtney Barnett previously took the stage, as did events from local nonprofits like Girls Rock and Musical Family Tree, the release said.<\/p>\n Annie Skinner said she hopes the space bolsters Broad Ripple\u2019s arts scene, just as the record store has done for the 23 years the Skinners have owned it.<\/p>\n
