Hollywood Alley celebrating Cherry Bomb from Green Lady Killers birthday tonight Posted at 1:02 AM Nov 21 view more
About me: Bands! Please read below in the BIG BOLD SECTION that says "BOOKING" in green.
The venue: Hollywood Alley is a 21+ venue in Mesa that has been doing live music for over 20 years and has hosted shows for a number of touring underground rock bands ...too many to name (but fond memories recall The Verve, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sweet, Rocket From The Crypt, Big Drill Car, Apples In Stereo, Street Walkin' Cheetahs, Bellrays, Nomads, Laughing Hyenas, Syl Sylvain, Supagroup, Sonny Vincent, Dead Moon, Jay Reatard, Easy Action, Dixie Witch, Greg Sage & The Wipers, Floater, Velocity Girl, Poster Children, Alabama Thunderpussy, Naked Aggression, Melt Banana, Hemi Cuda, Neil Hamburger, Public Enemy, Ghostland Observatory, The Lazy Cowgirls, NoMeansNo, The Makers, High On Fire, Lydia Lunch, Jeff Dahl Group, Electric Frankenstein, Girl In A Coma, The Action Design, Floater, TheSTART, JFA, Boss Martians, and I am sure I am forgetting a few dozen more). Hollywood Alley also hosted the SHoD IV festival in 2002, 2006, and 2007. We have the best and loudest PA for any 200-250 range venue in Arizona. We are a full service bar that is open at 6am for the graveyard shifters and is kept open for a their lunch and happy hour attendees. The Alley also boasts about a dozen or so TVs so television, sports, and bad films on VHS are a daily activity. We also have a nifty retro game room with alot of your favorite pinball and arcade games from the 80s. Once 8pm rolls around, The 'Alley transforms itself into one of the longest running and best reputable rock n roll venues within Metro Phoenix (20 years and running!). And most importantly, we are family owned (not corporate). We are owned and operated by three generations of a family that can been seen working day and night, 7 days a week.
Directions: Hollywood Alley is located at 2610 West Baseline in Mesa, AZ which is 1/8 mile east of the Loop 101 and the Tempe border. Here's a Mapquest link.
BOOKING! (bands please read): The Hollywood Alley MySpace site is not for booking. All booking should be done through Ross. His email address is srossw-at-msn-dot-com. Forwarding him your MySpace page or Sonicbids EPK is recommended. DO NOT (and i repeat) DO NOT SHOW UP ON A SATURDAY NIGHT at 10PM WHEN WE ARE BUSY AS HELL WITH A CD TO TALK BOOKING. We are very lenient on booking new bands, but talking our ear off about your band while we are trying to make money with customers is a sure fire why of not getting your band booked.
We do have a few outside promoters who book at Hollywood Alley that specialize in specific genres. If you fall within these genres you should go ahead and contact them through their myspace page.
Stoner Rock: Rob from SHoD books a handful of stoner rock shows each year, including SHoD Fest VII coming in September. His myspace site is : http://www.myspace.com/ancientrob Garage/Indie Rock: Starting in 2008, Vil Vodka will be booking more frequently again. He is the Saturday night resident bartender and the man behind the Gimme Danger shows from '05 and '08. He books under his company name Vodka Tonic Media and can be reached here: http:/www.myspace.com/vodkatonicmedia.com Punk Rock: Here is our two favorite punk rock promoters in the 21+ scene. They also book at other venues throughout town.

Hollywood Alley Proudly Features: TITO's Vodka. Some believe the best Vodka comes from Russia. Others think the best comes from Sweden and while many others name countries like Netherlands, France, and Holland. Well, according to a great deal of our customers, the best vodka in the world comes from right here in the USA...Austin Texas to be exact. Come on down and get yourself a cocktail made with Tito's Vodka. It's 80 proof and distilled six times. Very Smooth! Try it straight on the rocks.
