In the summer of 2009 Team Love moved from the East Village of Manhattan to the Hudson Valley community of New Paltz. We had been through town on a few occasions while visiting the Felice Brothers, and whether it was the two healthy record stores located across the street from one another or the stunning rock cliffs that guarded the town to the west, the village quickly became the focus of our ideas and dreams for what Team Love could become in the future. Two years later, we are delighted to announce that one of those visions has now come to fruition. The Team Love Ravenhouse Gallery will be opening its door in the Spring of 2011. The space, at 11 Church Street in the village of New Paltz, is an amalgamation of Team Love Records and Ravenhouse Management. It serves as both company's offices, as well as existing as a space open to the public that includes an art gallery and a retail space selling music, cloth, metallic bugs, colorful lamps, comic books, used records and more. Why? In a nutshell, after spending most of the last decade despairing over the shuttering of great record store after great record store and witnessing the tedious shift from the physical to the cyber, we decided it was time to push back a bit, to claim at least a few square feet of actual tactile space for ourselves, to build a wall, hang some vinyl lps on it, and open shop. That task is now complete, so if you ever find yourself driving north on the NY Turnpike and you want to take a break, come visit out town and our shop. We promise there is no other place like it.
