Here’s some very cool news for music fans in the Boston area. There’s a new club in town, and a new record store as well (yes, a record store<\/em>), both moving into what’s turning out to be the next Hipster Haven, Union Square in Somerville. Already there’s P.A\u2019s Lounge<\/a>, Sally O\u2019Brien\u2019s<\/a>, Precinct<\/a> and Starlab<\/a>. Add to that Radio<\/a>, which has its grand opening October 7. And while you’re waiting for the first band to come on, you can do a little rekkid shopping at Somerville Grooves<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Somerville Grooves<\/a> proprietor David Plunkett was a WZBC<\/a> DJ who also worked at In Your Ear Records<\/a> in the 1990s, before leaving for a more lucrative writing and editing gig (from which he was recently laid off). After much scouring of flea markets and yard sales for product, he’s giving his love of music another go, and all vinyl lovers in the city welcome him with open arms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also new to Union Square will be the 200-person capacity Radio<\/a>, a brand new restaurant and live music venue, replacing the recently closed Club Choices<\/a> on Somerville Avenue. The new owners, Josh Banville and Aimee McGrath, were bartenders at Rosebud Bar & Grill<\/a>, the chef is Jim Seery (formerly of The Plough & Stars<\/a>), and it will be booked by Boston Band Crush<\/a>‘s Ashley Willard. Both the food and the music will have a “local flavor”<\/a> (see schedule below). They plan for live music Thursday through Sunday, with most shows a $5 cover. Awesome.<\/p>\n
