In case you missed it, here are some mega highlights from the week we just had!
-The Roxy turned 40! That’s four decades of amazing performances and music. From Neil Young performing during the opening night to Bob Marley’s “Live From The Roxy” album and live show, Frank Zappa, Pee Wee Herman, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Jane’s Addiction, Adele, Alabama Shakes and so.many.more. What an amazing celebration! Check out The Roxy’s YouTube playlist for some of the live shows you may have missed.
-“Springbreaker” Vanessa Hudgens turned heads with a wild show at Bootsy Bellows on Tuesday night.
The calendar may say “Autumal Equinox” but it still feels sunny and summery on The Sunset Strip. Extend summer another few weeks with these upcoming events. (That scarf is just for decoration, anyway.)
SEASONAL SUMMER COCKTAILS
The Eveleigh restaurant has an amazing patio, and a fresh, farm-to-table menu. So when you add fresh, seasonal cocktails to this equation, you have the perfect summer trifecta. Stop by to try a few of their delicious summer-inspired drinks before they’re out of season: Oaxacan Angel (mezcal, agave, Miracle Mile Castillian bitters), Embury Cocktail (Plymouth Navy-strength gin, sherry, Yellow Chartreuse, Miracle Mile Yuzu bitters) and Hotel Nacional (Cuban rum, apricot eau de vie, fresh pineapple, lime, cane sugar). Cheers! www.theeveleigh.com
Australia born, avante-art band The Red Paintings have been circling the globe for well over a decade, bringing their orchestral rock sound and all encompassing mixed media stage shows to the spellbound masses. Currently on tour to support their soon to be released sophomore album, The Revolution Is Never Coming, the band and their human canvases recently stopped by The Sunset Strip to perform an intimate, stripped down show at The Roxy Theatre.
Before hitting the stage, TRP frontman Trash McSweeney sat down with TSS.com for an enlightening discussion about the forthcoming record, mid-show paint pandemonium and what it’s like to literally hear colors.
Featured in celebrity art galleries across the nation, Canada-based artist Stacey Wells has built her own celebrity following one brush stroke at a time, combining her two favorite subjects on canvas: rock stars and fine wine. Despite residing thousands of miles away, Wells has been a consistent presence on The Sunset Strip for the past few years, making frequent pilgrimages to capture portraits of many of the local bands for her “Reflections of The Strip” series.
It was this passion for music, art and all things Sunset Strip that brought Wells to the attention of the Gibson GuitarTown project, which chose her to design the “Welcome To My Nightmare” Alice Cooper inspired guitar sculpture as part of the public art installation.

The Sunset Strip is known for its long history of influencing music and the arts. This year, in celebration of this history, the Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) has partnered with Ethos Gallery and graffiti artist RISK to release two special limited edition SSMF poster prints.
“Sunset Strip is California to me. I have so many good memories there. From sneaking into shows when I was in high school, to business meetings as a young adult, to having been celebrated as an accomplished artist for painting a guitar for my heroes, The Doors, last year. Being the first of many great artists to create an annual limited edition poster for the Sunset Strip Music Festival is truly an honor! The Strip continues to be a chronological calendar of highlights in my life,” stated RISK.
Tonight the queen of The Sunset Strip, Dayle Gloria, kicks off SSMF Week with a superstar sampling of local fare at The Viper Room. Headlined by the Alt brothers of Street Drum Corps (playing the street fest this Saturday, Aug. 3), this swingin’ lineup includes performances by Bobby Alt & Back to Earth, The Moonbeams (featuring Adam Alt), The After Hours and Elle Rae. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are a low, low $10. www.viperroom.com
Anyone who’s ventured by The Roxy Theatre in the past few years has probably stopped to admire the eye-catching artwork that adorns the venue’s poster boxes. Danny Curnen (a.k.a. Danny Excess) is the artist behind most of The Roxy’s now signature aesthetic show posters, and he is now branching out into the sculptural medium with his own ten-foot tall ZZ Top-inspired Gibson GuitarTown art guitar, which will soon be installed on the fabled boulevard where he lives and works.
