All posts related to Sunset Strip on Guest of a Guest for Sunset Strip.



This week it was announced the Sunset Strip's legendary Key Club will close its doors for good next Friday, March 15th. As a farewell, the club has been hosting gigs of some of its favorite artists this week and has promised its last night will be nothing short of legendary. With the shutter of the famous club, the Strip loses one of its main stages for musical acts that have been rocking the stretch of boulevard since the '60s. Even before its current iteration, the venue played a huge role in launching acts like The Doors, Van Halen, Guns N' Roses and loads of other rock and hair metal bands since opening as Gazzarri's in the late '60s. As we prepare to say goodbye, here's a look at its evolution and the memorable performances and highlights it enjoyed during its tenure as one of the main hubs in Sunset Strip's awesome rock history.

If you attempted to get near Sunset in West Hollywood over the weekend, you probably became acutely aware of your fatal error in route choice since it was the annual three-day occupation of the area by the music industry known as the Sunset Strip Music Festival. We made sure to dutifully canvas the premises of the music block party event, so here's a look at the performers, fans, confetti and feather headpieces that made up the 2012 SSMF. More»

The Viper Room occupies a unique place in L.A. rock history, even for the Sunset Strip. It's not nearly as old as you think it is, but has still hosted a cavalcade of our most famous rockers, actors, and scenesters and (partially due to some tragic early deaths and incidents) is one of the few L.A. clubs that still carries a whiff of actual danger. Basically, it's the perfect place to see Madame Mayhem, an up-and-coming rocker with the noble goal to bring the attitude back to popular music. More»

Hey, you with the tan lines and the Corolla that's still sporting Connecticut plates. Welcome to L.A. We know you've been talking up SoCal to all your Emerson buddies ever since you landed an internship in the WME mailroom, but now you're out here and you're trying to mine your extensive knowledge of Entourage to think of things to do this summer. One small snafu: you're not a movie star yet, and that $11.63 an hour that Ari's paying you isn't going to support the groovy lifestyle of bangin' club nights that you had envisioned. Lucky for you, L.A. is chock full of great things to do on a budget and we've got the low-down on 10 full days of fun for under $20. More»
