Echo Park · Los Angeles
Sick City Records
Echo Park records with a barbershop and vintage band-shirt connection, leaning into post-punk, goth, new wave and indie music.
Why it is worth visiting
Sick City's Echo Park shop combines record shopping with Franky's barbershop and vintage band shirts, giving it a particular visual and musical identity. Post-punk, goth, new wave, synth-oriented music and indie records are the useful starting points, with VHS and related objects extending the browse. The current official feed remains active with stock posts and listening events, so the shop is not merely a name surviving in an older neighborhood guide. Use that feed for visiting information: the website encountered during research was unreliable and should not determine a trip. At the Sunset Boulevard address, give the records and clothing their own attention rather than expecting a broad CD department or a general all-formats warehouse.

Local tips
Check the event announcement itself if a listening party is part of the visit. Treat the record selection and vintage shirts as separate parts of the browse.
Keep the music going
More music. More stories. A longer tour.

What Was Your First CD?
People forget plenty of purchases. Their first CD apparently isn’t one of them.
