Wednesday nights, Chris hosts Bluebeat Lounge at Hollywood's Knitting Factory. The weekly concert series, focusing on reggae and ska, has showcased a diverse range of top quality music and become a great scene. Any Wednesday you're in LA, come on out.

*an upcoming public hearing by the LADBS (Los Angeles Bldg. and Safety) against our venue on Thursday July 17th 2008 @ 10am.
The Los Angeles Building Department is aggressively trying to revoke our CUP (Conditional Use Permit), for those of you who don’t know, a CUP is the conditions that all Restaurants, bars, clubs etc must run under in order to keep their doors open, if you lose your CUP, you are essential closed for business. After eight years in a crime riddled Hollywood corridor, the LADBS and vice, states that our venue is a “nuisance” and we do not comply under “upscale restaurant guidelines” (nonsense, food is always served and continues service and will someone please define “upscale” for me). They are also trying to say we do a steady stream of Erotica here, which is absurd, as we’ve only had 3 Adult Entertainment parties over 8 years and 10,000 shows... Our Public Hearing is scheduled for Thursday July 17th at 10am @ 200 N. Spring St, room 1020, Los Angeles, CA 90012-4801. Zoning Administration...
