Have you gone AWOL?
We sing the praises of Aaron Bruno and liked him in Under The Influence of Giants, but love him in AWOLNATION. It’s a riptide of head-banging dance beats, toe-tapping soul, biting lyrical cleverness and fiery rock romp that is poised to break all the rules of pop music. After their first performance [...]

Performing Thursday, August 5th
Classify it however you want, rock, punk, alternative…. The fact remains that Lady Sinatra produces killer songs and has a stage show that will turn your brain to mush. It’s an extra special night since it’s Joseph’s (aka @Loosefang) birthday show and with a lineup including LA favorites The Binges, The Glory Stompers [...]

Everclear played at the Viper Room…and then they walked away. Well, they were really much nicer about it than that [and yes, the song is stuck in our head].  We still can’t get over what a killer time everyone had on Sunday.  Everclear put on an amazing show, people sang along, and it was great [...]

The rock gods must be smiling down upon you, THIS JUST IN:  You’ve all heard of Everclear and have probably even seen them live before. But now you can see them intimately at The Viper Room this Sunday, July 25th. Finish your week with great rock and get your tickets now because this will sell [...]

Snew [performing tonight] is a fun local band, and the only band we know with their own 888 number —  it’s more of a band number and a great gimmick for promotion for people to get ’snewed.’  One day, the staff decided to call and talk to the person on the other end of the [...]

In 2009 The Pink Spiders announced they were going on hiatus and people wept.  On June 3, 2010, the band posted that all of the original(!) members had been playing together over the last few weeks and people rejoiced.  Now, we are excited to announce that The Pink Spiders will be performing this Sunday, 6/20 [...]

June 8 is not just the anniversary of losing your dignity, it’s also the second installment of It’s Free Fckers.  Free entry + Drink Specials.  Forget ripping your pants at prom and being forced to wear the school mascot for the rest of the night.  We have The Shakers [Record Release], Hillbilly Herald, Still Standing, Automatique, and New [...]

A Perfect Circle might be on hiatus, but seriously, stop crying.  We have good news — Billy Howerdel (APC mastermind) is keeping busy with his band, ASHES dIVIDE.  So busy, in fact, they’ll be occupying our stage for four unruly nights of indefinable rock music.  You read correctly… four nights – Wednesdays in June (6/2, [...]

“[8MM is] sexy, sultry and positively hypnotic.” – Alternative Press Magazine
Aren’t love and the apocalypse synonymous with one another? Whatever your twisted perception of relationships may be, your taste in music shouldn’t be affected (unless you’re an emofck.)  Ok, moving on… One of our favorite local bands, 8MM, is having a CD release show for [...]
