Icky Thump Records was a unique, temporary pop-up record store and event space located at 8801 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Known for its intimate, standing-room-only atmosphere, the venue hosted notable appearances and in-store performances, including the June 20, 2007 in-store release show tied to an album promotion. While the Tower Records site at this address has since evolved, the crossroads of Sunset Boulevard and West Hollywood continue to attract music fans seeking a close-to-the-stage experience and convenient access to nearby amenities. Here’s what you should know for planning a visit, collecting memories, and securing a spot at future events through our trusted network.

Venue visitors can expect a compact, intimate setting with room for about 200 attendees. There wasn’t a formal seating chart for the pop-up, and access was first-come, standing room. There’s no dedicated on-site parking, but there are nearby options along Sunset Strip, with property signage indicating limited spaces on-site. Public transit is a solid choice, with several bus lines (2, 180, 207, 217) and the B Line nearby to help you reach the venue without driving.
