San Pedro punk band F.Y.P plays its first local show in nearly a decade today at The Blue Star. However, singer-guitarist Todd Congelliere says the performance is not a reunion in the traditional sense......
If you were to read the ingredients of the kale salad at Long Beach's vegan-friendly Roots Gourmet, you might assume that the dish was kind of lame. You'd be wrong. Comprised of raw kale, peach slices, chopped almonds and pieces of dates, and served in a deliciously present-yet-not-overpowering dressing, the......
One of the many things you don't think of when you hear the words "South Bay" is awesome vegan food, but maybe you should, because Redondo Beach's Happy Veggie serves a pretty damn good animal-less pho. Obviously, the best part of the dish is the meal itself. Served with tofu,......
Unless you live in some sort of vegan utopia where all your friends are herbivores (or Portland), it's almost a guarantee that dining out with meat-eating friends is going to be a disappointment for at least one of the parties involved. Either the vegan eats a bland salad at a......
A missing comma and a forgotten "p" in the word "cappuccino" aren't the only omissions from the drive-thru menu at Orean the Health Express on Lake Avenue in Pasadena.

That's because four of the band's members -- singer Josh Brown, guitarist Steve M., bassist Tone Blair and guitarist-keyboardist Andy Kiddoo -- all spent time in On Blast, a group that appeared......
When he arrives at VIP Showgirls Gentlemen's Club in Hollywood, Metalachi trumpet player El Cucuy is told that there's no liquor license, and that the non-alcoholic beverages cost six bucks. He doesn't seem to mind. "Does that include chi-chi milk?" he asks. The woman behind the counter laughs. The answer......
Thanks to a little thing called the Internet, approximately 150 people in and around Long Beach descended upon the East Village Art District's Basement Lounge last night for a not-so-secret performance by comedian David Cross. Seeing a well-known celebrity in a tiny venue with cheap, stiff drinks is a guaranteed......
Director Tommy Wiseau perches atop a ledge in front of the Laemmle Sunset 5 on the occasion of the monthly screening of his 2003 cult classic, The Room. His maneuver is a bad idea not only because the narrow overhang is approximately 25 feet off the ground but also because......
