The Book of Liz
6500 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood

War, social upheaval, lock-step thinking and the crush of history pulse through this compilation of two Heiner M�ller works. The chilly formality of the text and icy beauty of the images tend to freeze out the theatergoer, but provocative questions hang in the air.

Monday�s at Joseph�s

1775 Ivar Ave.

Hollywood, 90028

10.00 PM �2.00 AM

(310)-622-8687

 

Ok I�m not one for plugging celeb hot spots unless the club itself is quality and Joseph�s meets that criterion, this Monday.

Metal Skool

Key Club

9039 Sunset Blvd.,

West Hollywood

(310)-786-1705

Doors 9.00 PM

Cover charge $12

 

Apologies for having two Hollywood venues, the same night but heavy metallers were asking me, when are going to get to us and well I am not going to disappoint. So here it is my recommendation is Metal Skool at the Key Club.

Metal Skool have found a new home here and the area is benefiting because of it.

Come listen to some of the best metal covers performed by one of the best live acts to grace the stage in recent years and afterwards chill out and throw a few shapes or turn on the charm to tunes of Faster Pussycat front man Taime Downe spins out the best of the best before and after the main act�s set.

Meanwhile in the VIP room DJ Double Elle entertains with his brand of rock, metal, indie and new wave.

9:00 PM - 2:00 AM

 

Resident DJs Michelle Mai, Rebecca Sin and James Kay spin out a mixture of funky, groovy, acid, tech house but if you don�t want to strut your stuff an a dazzling night floor just chill out in the lounge and sample some tasty beverages.

 

The Standard Hollywood,

8300 Sunset Blvd.

Los Angeles

(323) 650-9090

8:00 PM - 2:00 AM

 

Cool, hip young cousin of the Sky Bar just up the strip, this has the same incredible view of Hollywood but instead of a deck, there�s blue Astroturf beneath your feet. The terrace has telescopes for the voyeur in you or ping-pong tables to play on, while inside you can lie back on rattan chairs in a desert-landscaped lounge. And is that a live girl varnishing her nails in the aquarium behind the check-in desk? Not for faint-hearts or thin wallets.  DJ Crash mixes the funkiest tunes from the past, present and future.
Get there early, because you want to avoid the lines. But remember it�s free. So there aren�t the same hassles like most clubs.

7.00 PM-2.00 AM 

 

Right for those of you who are single and are perhaps too nervous to approach the opposite sex in a bar, there is a chance to meet the one or the one right now. A little advice this is a speeding dating event where the average age is +25 so please leave the cheesy one liners at the door and sure if all doesn�t go to plan it�ll be over in under three minutes, quite like my sex life, before you get the chance to impress upon on another beauty. Highly recommended for first timers and regulars to the scene or to anyone who want to brush off the cobwebs for the weekend ahead, this is the place to reinvent your mojo.

This is a weekly event for all R�n�B wannabes, come try old or new material at the flaming hot Club Red Square. Or if you don�t want to perform come and see the best in local hip/hop or R n�B talent being put through their paces. If you want to be impressed with names then, artists like Raphael Saadiq, Guy, Teddy Riley, Kim Fields, and Vesta have graced the stage but the performance by the band alone is worth the $10.
