Issue 10
Welcome to the latest edition of LA Nightlife Magazine! We're excited to bring to you all the cool events, live music shows, bars, and clubs LA has to offer. Plus two new features to make your search through the nightlife that much cooler... This month was full of awesome events (just look at how many we had posted on the main page), but we couldn't go to them all so we selected a handful and wrote about them. We satisfied our sweet tooth for canoodling with the stars at the Grand Opening of Sugar in Hollywood for their premier of "Freedom Wednesdays". We put on our most urban digs for the Kim Kline show at one of Hollywood's notorious live music venues, The Viper Room. We took made a pit stop for some flavorful libations at the newest WeHo dining spot, Murano before heading off to Temple Bar for a nightcap and a chat with the locals. We had fun, now it's your turn! And our newest features are sure to help you with that.

| John McLaughlin, Tim Myers, and Kim Kline |
 | Kim Kline at Viper Room Patrons crowded the Viper Room Tuesday like the scene from an all out, bare-bones Vegas-style boxing event. Sweaty and attentive, clinging to their ever-melting iced drinks, the crowd's mood was heavy with anticipation for the evening's promisingly impressive lineup:
Jon McLaughlin, Tim Myers, and Kim Kline.
Indiana native Jon McLaughlin began the night with his impressive ability to pull himself out of the overplayed and mediocre genre of attractive mid 20's males hunched over a piano singing love songs that bore and seemingly regurgitate old John Mayer hits. McLaughlin is indeed attractive and in his mid 20's, but he has an edge to his song writing and his dynamic slamming of the ivories are raw and intriguing. McLaughlin seemed unaware of the quality of his voice, a pitch perfec... Read More >> |

SUGAR 1716 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Hollywood
The grand opening of Sugar in Hollywood last week was scrumptious but disappointingly not as sweet as it could be. Sugar has a great location-just off Hollywood Blvd. on Cahuenga and is a big venue with 3 bars, a smoking room, and this night, was complete with free pink vodka drinks and cotton candy. A large-ish crowd gathered to check out what kind of decadence they could sink their sweet tooths into. Like many other Hollywood clubs, it offered a large dance floor and beautiful people to look at, but minor glitches in the event coordination left me wondering if such an event was ready for the LA Scene.

| Circus Diablo | An Evening with Royalty The world of rock music has been run by 26 year old Prada wearing corporate bozos for too many years now. When was the last time you sat down and talked to the lead singer of the hottest band in the country and who knew who Metallica was? The problem that today's youth face is they've been saturated with wanna-be's so long they wouldn't recognize a musician even if they were one, folks. When television's biggest stars are the children of other television stars, something is wrong. You can judge a society by who they choose to celebrate.
Stop the Presses, folks. Paris Hilton was just released from jail early and Kobe Bryant had diarrhea over the weekend. Read More >> |

Los Pinguos Revisited Interview with Adrian Buono, lead singer and guitarist of Los Pinguos
Temple Bar, May 18th, 2007
2 years ago, we brought the spice of South America to LA Nightlife with the locally known Argentine group, Los Pinguos (which, for your curiosity is a modified version of pinguinos, meaning penguins). Today, this 6+ group is still taking over the Westside. Though, you won?t find them on the promenade anymore. They've graduated and taken up residency at Temple Bar in Santa Monica, another first review for LANightlife.com.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Adrian Buono to see how, if at all, their style, their music, their overall outlook on their business of music has changed. And the timing couldn't have been more perfect with an overhaul of their website and a new album in the work... Read More >> |
