Geelong’s Bad Neighbour Records is celebrating its first birthday with a vinyl-fuelled party

It's been one year of Bad Neighbour Records' vinyl store residency at Boom Gallery.

Geelong wax lovers, consider your Saturday plans sorted! Bad Neighbour Records is celebrating one year slinging vinyl from Boom Gallery with an epic little shindig this weekend.

Taking place on Saturday, November 19 within its Big Boom Space at 5 Rutland Street, Newtown, the first birthday festivities will kick off from 12pm and run right through until 6pm, with free bevvies and a cheeky 20% off the catalog for anyone that wants to grab a record or three.

On top of that, they’ll also have an open decks session, gifting locals a good opportunity to flex your collection and makes everyone there jealous.

Perhaps one of the best additions to Newtown in the last few years, the record store is honest and unpretentious, arriving courtesy of Geelong-via-Tasmania hospitality veteran, disc jockey and just all-around legend Sam Zaid. The simple, funky space is the first thing you see as you walk in. The humble set-up is kitted out with a communal table, custom-built wooden shelves highlighting feature vinyl, black tubs to dig through and a listening station to explore the new releases. Surrounding the record store is a stunning collection of artworks and installations from a collection of Boom Gallery’s temporary art exhibitions.

Since opening one year ago, the BNR vinyl residency has become one of the coolest spots for music fans. With a hefty library of rare vinyl and new arrivals in-store weekly, Bad Neighbour Records is a must-visit to secure those one-off pieces for expanding your record collection.

So bring your mates, bring your dog, enjoy a bev and pick up some fresh wax.
