PART TIME PUNKS is a club that takes over noted Echo Park live music venue, The Echo on 1822 Sunset, every Sunday night.

Discover a wild blend of punk and post-punk music at Part Time Punks, held every Sunday night at The Echo in LA. Focusing on indie vinyl and DIY bands from 1977 to the present, this dirty weekly event features a dynamic selection of sounds in the punk sphere. Expect to hear everything from minimal synth and indie pop to dark wave, industrial, shoegaze, baggy, twee and krautrock.

Celebrate The Scene That Refuses To Die every Sunday night at The Echo with Part Time Punks. For nine years this Los Angeles punk music mainstay has showcased a cornucopia of DIY and independent vinyl from the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Noise is king at this Echo Park weekly, which features a snarling blend of punk, post-punk, synth-punk, new wave, industrial, indiepop, shoegaze, twee and minimal synth pop music from 1977 to the present. An 18+ night with a low $7 cover (except in cases of special events); Part Time Punks attracts a diverse crowd of ardent punk fans mixed with curious newbs. DJ (and CalArts professor) Michael Stock digs in the bins and spins strictly vinyl. You won’t hear any hip hop, pop or Top 40 mash-ups – and don’t even think about requesting Madonna. Instead, broaden your musical horizons with a stew of independently released records from the last three and a half decades. Soak in the low-key, Lo-Fi, atmosphere and enjoy a gritty evening free from pretense or posturing. Immerse yourself in a sound blender with machine dream cold wave music, guitar-rich C86 and graphically enlightening NDW. Don’t know what the hell that means? Get to Part Time Punks and discover the fast, hard edge of the music industry where punk lives on in glory and rage.
