Trash American Style Forced Out! CT's best and oldest punk rock institution being evicted.

First the good news: Danbury, CT has gained a bigger print shop. Now the bad news: Danbury is losing a cultural mecca. Thrown to the curb like........well, like....TRASH!! Effective May 1st, 2007, Trash American Style will no longer be able to conduct retail operations at 12 Mill Plain Road. It’s official. Not a rumor. Tell everybody. We must stress that this is NOT because of bad business or hard times. If we had our druthers, we’d stay here at 12 Mill Plain Road forever. We love this location. It has been very good to us for 17+ years. Due to circumstances way beyond our control, and with little time to effectively plan any strategy, we are forced into action. Kathy and I are going to stay in business, just in a different fashion for the time being. You’ll be seeing us at record shows, flea markets, colleges, festivals, gigs, vacant lots, and assorted roadsides all over the Northeast. Those of you across the globe will see plenty of Trash action on Ebay and elsewhere on the internet. There will probably be a storefront again, we just don’t know when. Right now, we’re starting to discount a lot of the merchandise. You’ve seen how much stuff we have and we need to get rid of a lot of it. Shop at Trash and get it while you can. Please send us your contact information if we don’t already have it. An email or snail mail address will be very helpful to us because we want to keep everybody informed as our situation develops. You can always check trashamericanstyle.com for updates! Kathy and I want you to know that we love each and every one of you. You’ve given us the best 20 years that we could possibly ask for and we’re grateful to all of you for letting us serve you this whole time. We are not defeated and we will not be stopped. Our journey continues, just down a different path than the one we would have chosen. We hope to see you as much as possible along the path. LONG LIVE TRASH AMERICAN STYLE!

-Malcolm Tent, owner Trash American Style, Danbury, Connecticut
