"The lineups? Always strong and feature upcoming local talent and rock steady favorites you already know about.

Boardner's is located at 1652 North Cherokee Ave ... a half block south of Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood ... a scenic spot that has been around since the 40s, can be seen such films as Ed Wood, Wag the Dog, LA Confidential, and Leaving Las Vegas, and -- really, I would not kid with you about this -- Guns N Roses trashed the bathroom once. (It' s like, history, you're soaking in it or something.)
Hope you're luving this last little bit of summer. Have you been out to The Airliner yet? We've been playing there lately & are really digging that punky East Side vibe. We've got a show there again on the 8th & really want you to come out to see what we do live. Music is always better in person. Rock & Roll!
