Sundance out, Superfly in: Great record store news!

One 70s reference gives way to another: Sundance Kid meet Superfly!

When Sundance Record Store in San Marcos closed recently after 35 years in business, it was sad news. But word came today that the 3,000-square foot space at 202 University Drive will be taken over by Superfly’s Lone Star Music Emporium, a new record store specializing in Texas artists. Superfly’s is owned by the folks that put out Lone Star Music magazine.

The new shop expects to be open by the end of September. Lone Star Music’s shop in Gruene will close tomorrow, so the owners can focus on San Marcos.

The store, located a few blocks from Texas State University, will have a stage for in-store performances.

In a news release Thursday, Superfly’s operators said they’ll stock all kinds of music, from Houston hip-hop to heavy metal, with a huge vinyl selection.

One thought on “Sundance out, Superfly in: Great record store news!”

Michael,

Here’s what happened to Sundance – it’s now at Sig’s Lagoon in Houston. Former Sundance employee Tomas Escalante, who owns Sig’s, bought out Bobby’s furnishings and Bobby is reinstalling it all, poster collages on the walls included, at Sig’s.
So if you miss Sundance, it’s in Houston now.

Order [Ghost Notes]: Pioneering Spirits of Texas Music. “Ghost notes” is a musical term for sounds barely audible, a wisp lingering around the beat, yet somehow driving the groove. The Texas musicians profiled here, ranging from 1920s gospel performers to the first psychedelic band, are generally not well known, but the impact of their early contributions on popular music is unmistakable. This beautiful Tim Kerr-illustrated collection provides more background on the Texas from which these artists sprang, fully formed.

A lavishly illustrated collection of 42 profiles of Texas music pioneers, most underrated or overlooked.
