Los Globos Gets Served (Closes Temporarily)

Rumor on the Sunset Blvd. is that emerging dance club and late night unwind spot, Club Los Globos, closed its doors today after having their dance and live music permits cancelled by the city on October 29, 2012.  Although the motives behind the rescinding of their paperwork are not yet clear to me - local resident discontent probably has something to do with it as the venue caught some flack for its penchant for all night events and intoxicated patrons.    But - what do you expect from a music venue?  

Los Globos was a welcomed addition to the after hours menu of venues, as well as becoming a hub for emerging talent and hot promoters and labels (Iheartcomix, Mad Decent, A Club Called Rhonda, Vice, SMOG and LA Records had each thrown events there).  Owner Steve Edelson made true on his promise of maintaining the club's Latin identity, while simultaneously expanding its musical horizons with a larger dance floor that was DJ friendly and improving the downstairs sound.   Coupled with Edelson's other property holdings in the neighborhood - Globos was shaping up to be a legit force in competing for and hosting late night dance events.

Provided the venue can reacquire their permits, the venue could reopen in as little as 45 days, just in time for holiday celebrations and New Years Eve events.  We're putting in a little SUPERGOOD prayer that the permits are reacquired or reinstated.  Until then - the club remains closed with the exception of private events.

The Central SAPC: One of L.A.'s Most Intimate Venues

SUPERGOODMUSIC wants to give praise where praise is do. Santa Monica based music enclave Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a more recent addition to Los Angeles’ prominent group of venues, has all the right fixings to make it an iconic spot in this music-infested town.

Fitting its title perfectly, a team of music-club veterans from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New Orleans designed the Central SAPC so that music-lovers could relax and rock-out all in one place; a home away from home, for all you Angelenos. With two rooms that ooze great vibes, you can chat by the rustic fireplace in the main “watering hole” or watch your favorite, or soon to be favorite, band jam in a separate room conveniently equipped with a second bar. We've elected to the westside music stomping grounds as the site of our weekly FREE indie rock residency - which goes down every Tuesday and this month is truly #dopesauce because Kiev is playing.

The venue was formerly 14 Below before a massive renovation and face lift changed it into the establishment it is today. To properly invite you to this cozy venue that’s bubbling with fresh talent, SUPERGOODMUSIC is giving away tickets to a couple Central shows this month:

11/12: Purple Melon with Outernational

11/19: Jam in the Van presents: Chali 2NA and The House of Vibes with MTHDS and Special Guests

To enter our giveaway - either send an e-mail to contest@supergoodmusic.com or tweet out @supergoodmusic and @thecentralsapc along with the headlining artist (either @purplemelon or @chali2na). If you're feeling the twitter love - mention @jaminthevan and @mthds too.

Enjoy your weekend!
