About the Business

About Us - Vinyl Envy - Records Store and Music Venue | Established in 2015, Vinyl Envy is an independent, vinyl record store as well as an all-ages live music venue with a capacity of 80.  In our store we stock both new and used vinyl records (10,000+Lps) in addition to a good selection of local vinyl/CD & cassette releases. Our musical tastes include indie rock, folk/blues, funk/soul, jazz, hip hop, reggae and electronic. As a live music venue, we have hosted over 300 in-store events with music from across the globe, including Tasmania, London U.K. Portland, Baltimore, L.A. as well as every province/territory in Canada. For musicians who are looking to do “Release Parties”, we are a great option. As a band or solo artist etc, what better place to perform your new music than in front of a small crowd of friends and followers in a record store.  Since June of 2018, we have been co-curating "Blender Night" at Lucky Bar in Victoria as well as promoting larger events outside of our store under the umbrella Vinyl Envy Presents.  Every year we host a 2 day musical showcase known as “Psych and Soul Weekend” at The Roxy Theatre, a charming 200+ seat authentic movie house erected in the 1950’s. Friday night features four psych/rock acts, Saturday night is Soul night, with the influences of funk/soul/hiphop included in the lineup.   Our mission is to celebrate local talent whenever possible, but we also love playing host to touring bands passing through town. If you have a project or a private event that you'd like to talk to us about, please get in touch, we’d be happy to host you.

A wonderful little store where my son found two vinyl records he had been wanting for quite some time. We were also tickled to hear they have live music in their store! We're big supporters of any place that supports live music❤️

Viny envy is easily my favorite spot to shop for new wax. The staff is friendly and passionate, and their ever revolving collection for sale makes the experience of finding a record you love all the more thrilling. Follow the shop on Instagram if you want a heads up one what's new when it comes in. I've definitely made a few panicked runs down to the shop when they post something that's otherwise hard to find.

There is a diverse selection of records. The staff are VERY knowledgeable about all genres of music, as well as nice and attentive. I have been to many of their weekend shows after closing and they are always a ton of fun. these guys are doing a great job of helping to build the music scene in Victoria.

Vinyl Envy exposed me to music outside of my antique sensibilities. I think it's fun to get down with the new music. I believe there is hope for me yet!In addition, the prices reasonable.

Extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. Albums are play tested, the ratings are listed on the sleeve, and the selection is excellent. If they don't have a plate in stock, they'll help you track it down. Staff encourage you to listen before you buy, ask questions and interact. Shows are all ages and a great place for enthusiasts to get youth involved in a safe local music scene.

After driving by this place for 2 years I finally popped in for a peek and was delighted to discover a charming, cool and welcoming space. I neglected to ask the name of the man behind the counter but he was friendly and helpful, leading me to a few gems in the short time I had to peruse the records. Great selection and displays. I appreciated the listening station and reasonable pricing. I look forward to returning and spending more time (and money).
