Davis’ student-run freeform radio station KDVS told The California Aggie last week that they are looking to expand and host all-ages shows at the former Dimple Records location downtown (212 F Street, Davis), which closed in July 2012 and has since remained empty, save for it housing a Halloween store during fall months. KDVS’ general manager Renner Burkle told The Aggie, “We can actually start booking shows there. We’d like to start booking shows within a month or two.”
Programming director Christine Hong was also quoted in the article, stating, “We can expect to see more all-ages shows. I think it’s important that every city has an all-ages venue.”
No word on whether or not KDVS has signed a lease on the space yet making this news unofficial, but our fingers are crossed that they do before some mega-corporate store like Banana Republic or Forever 21 swoops in on the prime retail location. Keep your eyes and ears open for more information on this new all-ages venue development in the coming weeks.
