The Orange County Performing Arts Center (OCPAC), long-known for hosting its prestigious rosters of ballet, classical, jazz, world-music, opera and musical-theater acts, is now opening things up with its new Off Center series. The program is dedicated to diversity-broadening the arts spectrum for audiences, and luckily, that includes fan-favorite pop/rock acts in addition to everything from avant-garde Canadian puppet shows to comedy troupes. It's clean (no sticky floors?! Competent door people?!), state-of-the-art and, best of all, absolutely gorgeous. More >>
Known at different times as Hyundai Pavilion, Blockbuster Pavilion and Glen Helen Pavilion, this San Bernardino County venue is one of the largest amphitheaters around, with traditional seating up front and lawn seating on the hill looking down. It has been the site of various festivals, including the Mayhem Festival, Ozzfest and Cruefest. More >>
This small storefront is part of the burgeoning wave of Echo Park galleries and cafes that sometimes double as live-music venues. Following in the wake of the shuttered Echo Curio and cropping up alongside simpatico joints like Lot 1 Cafe, Sancho presents some of the better underground art and music shows. The gallery's clean white walls are brightened with colorfully dramatic exhibits and group shows by such diverse artists as Anthony Ausgang, Doug Cox, Amy Darsa, Art Morales, Victor Charles Balogh, Andy Takakjian and Marcel De Jure, and even arty musicians like Buko Pan Guerra, Joe Baiza, Nora Keyes and Dame Darcy. There's no alcohol, but there's also no age limit. Street parking. More >>
http://www.santamonicacivic.org Since it opened in 1958, this seaside hall has been the site of historic performances by many historic performers, from James Brown, the Doors, the Beach Boys, Elton John and the Rolling Stones to the Ramones, Sarah Vaughn, the Buzzcocks, Bruce Springsteen and the Cramps. David Bowie found stateside success at a crucial concert here in the early 1970s. The Clash made their Southern California debut at the Civic, and other musicians who've played its wide stage include Bo Diddley, Motorhead, the Descendents, Tex & the Horseheads, X, the Plasmatics, Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, Ian Hunter, Aerosmith and occasional Dogtown regular Bob Dylan. For much of the 1960s, the Civic was also home to the Academy Awards. The venue continues to be the site of all manner of activity, including fashion and trade shows, as well as live concerts. The venue's dance floor features a unique hydraulic floor that makes it easy to transform the room from a concert hall into an exhibit space. More >>
http://www.santamonicapier.org The Santa Monica landmark has been in operation for more than a hundred years, with an arcade, shops, restaurants, bars, fishing, and an amusement park with rides and a Ferris wheel. Since 1983, the annual summer "Twilight Dance Series" has presented free rock, pop, world, blues, Latin and jazz concerts on Thursday night with such artists as Rickie Lee Jones, Cafe Tacuba, Dr. John, Eric Burdon, Patti Smith, Dick Dale, Koko Taylor, Thee Midniters, Bo Diddley and many others.

http://www.thesatellitela.com Everyone from Rilo Kiley and the White Stripes to the New York Dolls and Gossip has played at this indie-rock bastion, which for many years was known as Spaceland but is now called the Satellite. The Silver Lake bar has had several distinct incarnations, evolving from the longtime gay hangout Dreams into Pan, the live-music club that morphed into Spaceland in the mid-1990s. Although its narrow stage has hosted many notable national and international performers, including Dead Moon, Of Montreal, the Buzzcocks, Death Cab for Cutie, Pavement, Supergrass, the Detroit Cobras and Love With Arthur Lee, the venue is synonymous with the Silver Lake music scene, launching such crucial local indie icons as Beck, Possum Dixon, Silversun Pickups and Elliott Smith. More recently, the club has booked everyone from the Melvins to the Pipettes and Booker T. Jones. The Satellite has a full bar, and there's a separate bar (with a pool table) that's walled off from the rest of the club with see-through plastic like the Cone of Silence. Monday nights are generally no cover. Most shows begin at 9 p.m. Ages 21 & over. The bar has a small adjoining lot with valet parking, and street parking is also available, but read the posted signs, as some neighboring streets have zealously enforced permit-parking restrictions.

http://www.sbe.com/thesayersclub/ The Sayers Club — a relaxed yet elegant hangout essentially hidden behind the Papaya King hot dog stand on Wilcox in Hollywood — attracts a shockingly un-douchey crowd. Credit has to go to the club's conceptual creator and music curator, Jason Scoppa, who also helped turn Bardot above the Avalon into a first-rate spot. But Sayers has a spontaneity and star power that already outshines his previous efforts. Though most nights talented unknowns perform cover hits, surprise big names often take the stage, too, like Prince, Gotye, Nelly Furtado, Sheila E, Questlove and American Idol winner Kris Allen. Even folks like Kristen Stewart and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will join in the party. Ultimately, Sayers is fueled by a love of music, which is why it stays as hot as the dogs that hide its digs. More >>
