The Sundowners play the Unknown Theater
From the hills of Alta Dena where the air is justa little clearer and the altitude justa little higher the SUNDOWNERS music will probably remind you of a lot of things but it’ll never sound even slightly derivative.
Yes, Dear. There Is An Art of Bleeding.
Ahh, the Art of Bleeding. What a crazy, chaotic vaguely hospital-themed, vaguely mad scientist-themed hot mess of a show. They’ve incorporated nearly everything under the sun into their show, most notably Abram the Safety Ape – always looking out for your safety! But now, the Art of Bleeding show goes without that insolent robot, silly [...]
Like a vision from a fairytale: SILVER PHIAL
I defy you to hold on to that existential angst once the sound of Silver Phial wafts your way.

The Buddha Bark Celebrity & Canine Style Lounge was THE place to go this past weekend for all the grooming needs for you and your pooch. Featuring tons of doggie-centric vendors and products, the Buddha Bark Celebrity & Canine Lounge was a great place to get massaged, shampooed, fed, and watered.
There was the Wizard of [...]
Anvil: The Story of Anvil’s Life
So so many things wrong with the Critic’s Choice Awards, going on in Downtown LA tonight. Such awkward pairings (aren’t these people supposed to be actors?), such a bad, nay – terrible host (Kristen Chenoweth? Amy Sedaris did it first and did it best. Go home.) The vibe of the evening seems to be that [...]
It’s Chinese New Year Time!

The Evening of Sinister Amusement
The Evening of Sinister Amusement at Hollywood’s Unknown Theatre was a little sinister, a little amusing, and all in all some great entertainment. After a long, long, (maybe I got there too early?) long time to get started, in which I was subject to way too much Ramones, the night finally opened with films by [...]
Absinthe, Opium, & Magic
There’s a movement of sorts happening in theatre, a decidedly darker realm of theatrical performances that include aerialist, fire, caberet, burlesque, and loves to include the audience. The Grand Guignolers is one of these all-inclusive experiences in the vain of Cirque Berzerk, Lucent Dossier, and the whole steampunk aesthetic.
Join the Grand Guignolers Fridays and Saturdays [...]

Arias With A Twist: Drag Diva Takes Redcat
“Arias with a Twist” is a whacked-out show that demands your attention by employing quick wit fused with extremely imaginative staging. This is all held together by the soaring song stylings of this demented (and very talented) singer.
Let’s Review: The Venice Swap-o-rama-rama
We heart the Swap-o-rama-rama! It’s a great great thing. You bring a bag of clothes, pay your $5 and root around the piles and piles of everyone else’s old clothes for your personal diamond in the rough. It was so well-organized and such a well-oiled machine. There were crafters on the side, mostly Halloween themed, [...]

Sunset Strip Music Festival
Part warning for all who dare to drive around the Sunset Strip, trying to get anywhere besides the Sunset Strip, part announcement for the upcoming festival, the Sunset Strip Music Fest is all things alt rock, as if 106.7 and ye olde 103.1 got together and had a completely predictable baby.
I’m not really sure what [...]
