Photos and mini-review: Giant's Dirty Sexy House @ Playhouse - 7/10/09

http://photo.rukes.com/playhouse/playhouse.html

Just a quick gallery since people FLOODED in like crazy quickly, pretty much giving me no room to get some people pics on the floor. Ah well, next week!

Anyway, as I said it get super packed since it's got the new club smell. Majority of the crowd are Hollywood types, so LOTS of hot girls.

Music is mostly the usual house everyone here is used to, but most of the Hollywood club scene is not...so with the combo of a new hot Hollywood club and the type of music that's played, it's probably the biggest bridge between the two scenes yet!

You can RSVP for next week's event here:

Of course since it gets pretty packed quickly, get there early..and I mean it! There was a huge line a half an hour before opening!

We tried going last night for a friends birthday. We where in line by 10:30 and that was a half hour to late.

At 11 they started holding the line and letting only bottle service in and or going threw the crowd and picking 2 people to go.
We decided to go to King King instead.

Makes me sad that I'm not around for this. Giant doing a new Hollywood night at a venue that people have been waiting a long time to see re-opened. Gotta say though, doesn't seem like my kinda crowd.

There is another area up the stairs to the back with another bar, chairs and DJ booth. Doubles as the smoking patio, so its similar to the Nacional second floor.

Giant has a guestlist. It's not "pick and choose"

we were on that guestlist, and in line by 1020ish with a group of about 17 people. By 1040 they stopped letting people in, and random groups of people were allowed to be pushed through us in line and into the club. Completly disrespectful to everybody

It was very poorly run & disorganized, and the guy with the deepest voice in the world yelling "KEEP MOVING" out front, telling people they cant stand on a public sidewalk was a nice touch.

The crowd was a bunch of douchbags that obviously had little if any knowledge about club music and just wanted to show their face at the cool spot.

We got to the very front, and out of principle, and extreme whackness of the entire situation, we opted to walk over to king king and hand our money to compressions

A humbling reminder of just how pathetic the club scene in Hollywood really is

amen..I dislike when some of these clubs try to bust a "night at the rocksberry" exclusive attitude and mistreatment. Thats why I give mad props to the usual spot I go to which will remain unmentioned. Now as for this king king I need to go there since I haven't been.

Posted by Cool1g on Jul-12-2009 20:49:

basically Playhouse is a Hollywood club that on fridays will play commercial house music instead of the open format you hear at the other hollywood clubs.

everyone that i know that's been loved the place.... and these are people that go to Vanguard and Avalon regularly. a lot of the people that run Avalon were there checking the place out...

its not really appropriate to compare Playhouse to King King or Vanguard....very different target demo.... its closer to say Rain in Vegas or Mynt in South Beach.

i had advised everyone going to get there by 10pm and they all got in after a short wait... remember it was their 1st friday nite being open and only 3rd nite open total... you'd have to assume it would be slammed...it actually wasn't as bad as i expected it to be...the first nite so many people were there the cops literally shut down Hollywood Boulevard due to all the people in front of the venue.

Posted by Cool1g on Jul-12-2009 21:12:

PS - they did hit occupancy very early...and as noted above only people with tables or those that knew the people at the door firsthand got in after 11pm - that's just how it is at 'hollywood' clubs. I'll agree the door situation is very different from you most on here are used to... if you go in the future just please make sure you get there by 10pm...

i wish those that showed up had gotten in that didn't....glad to hear King King worked out well for you guys.

One of the best clubs I have been to in LA... I went last Thursday it was crap music but the best crowd and very nice club I must say. There door was strict but not as strict as some of the other Hollywood clubs.. Overall a winner and please stop comparing this place to Avalon and Vanguard.... Its more like Cameo and Mansion!!

i doubt i'll give it another try, not gonna support clubs like that, sorry, just not my type of club. i know where i feel comfortable and that is where i'll continue to go and support. besides, doesn't make sense for me to go since i'm not really into commercial house.
i like giant, have supported them many times at vanguard and in the OC, but since this is a different type of venue from that with a different philosophy then i'll just stick to what i love

Posted by pnutttty on Jul-14-2009 01:02:

im glad i missed the opening night...cause i would of been bummed to get there after 11 and not got in smoothly..and just like everyone else � i would of had my panties in a bunch.

but in anycase, i have to applaud giant for a packed Friday opening. I plan on checkin it out. Hey, I hope they do really well and more and more edm oriented clubs will open. I like to have options�so the more edm options we have is a good thing, no?

mucho props and I look forward to checkin it out.

Sounds like a club I will probably never visit.

Working freelance on my own terms give me choice in the type of scene and photos I want to curate.

I don't want to go to Rain or Mynt either.

What do you do when your skin is so TAN
All of that make up, you look like a MAN

Who do you blame when your hair looks so FAKE
Probably the guy at the sun n' BAKE
MAYBE HE'S FORGOTTEN YOU
