LA has tons of bars/lounges that play dance music now, especially in the downtown area. In addition to that we have loads of promoters trying to do the underground thing and throw warehouse style parties. In terms of clubs we have Avalon, The Vanguard and Circus. Circus was one of the first clubs to bring in dance music back in 99/00, but since around 03 or 04 (when they kicked out their major promoter to start their own) they've been in a steady decline and now it's a pretty big shithole. The Vanguard and Avalon pretty much vie for the top spot on Saturday nights, but which one is better is debatable. Depends on who's playing really. Vanguard's promoter is Giant, and they USED to bring in quality acts but now it's all big room tech house/cheesy shit whereas Avalon has been bringing in a lot more relevant/forward thinking DJs. I prefer Avalon to Vanguard based simply on club size and sound system, it's massive and the sound system is a million dollar + custom job. Vanguard DOES have a Funktion One but no one ever tunes it and it tends to sound like shit.
The crowd at Avalon tends to be kinda shitty, lots and lots of old Asian people for whatever reason. They like to stay up front by the booth/stage in a group and sway back and forth. It's very strange. Vanguard's crowd isn't much better, full of LAs version of Guidos...not exactly sure what to call them really. MMA type guys that wear way too much Affliction and Ed Hardy with their equally looking douchey girlfriends. |
I think the term you are looking for is meatheads, douchebags or johnnys.
