Cultural Facts:

  1. Drug Culture: The band’s open drug scene was no secret; heroin and cocaine issues strained members through the late ’70s, affecting reliability and finances.

  2. Band Drama: Keyboardist Keith Godchaux was pushed out in 1979 after internal tension and declining performance; he died in a 1980 car crash at 32.

  3. Scene Ecology: Their taping-friendly policy built a trading network that bypassed radio, creating one of the earliest fan-driven distribution ecosystems in rock.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
