Sometimes I’m against “Best Of” lists. Mostly because I never agree with them…so to remedy that - Team Roxy have created our own version of what we thought the highlights of ‘08 were. Scanning thru the ‘08 Roxy calendar - it was hard to narrow it down (which is a good thing)!
For the record - this started as a TOP 5…but some people *cough* Meg and Heath couldn’t make up their mind. Let us know what your favorite Roxy shows were! Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the year a success - from MYSPACE, to DIM MAK, and everyone in between. Viva 2009!
Time to enjoy the rain! Grab your umbrella and join us for a night of amazing singer songwriters!
Doors: 8:00 Jay Nash: 8:15 Brendan James: 8:45 John West: 10:00
Its official. Starting tomorrow….Zappa mania begins. Arguably one of the most influential musicians of our time - its such a treat to have Dweezil Zappa and company (Zappa Plays Zappa)playing the legendary tunes of Frank Zappa. In what is normally an arena show, it’s so exciting to have 4 nights of such an intimate show. We hear there are a few tickets left- so check out ticketmaster and see what you can conjure up.
Here’s a sneak peek - Zappa Plays Zappa DVD

Last Sunday, we were honored to be part of a benefit in honor of one of the members, of one of the most beloved bands ever. Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys will always hold a special place in so many peoples hearts - that we couldn’t have been happier to hold The Carl Wilson Foundation Benefit Concert. So many world class musicians in the house - it was obvious that 10 years after his passing - his spirit is strong. Check out the great article and pictures by Scott Schultz. For more information on the Foundation, click here.
The Carl Wilson Foundation honored the passing of former Beach Boy Carl Wilson with a memorial concert at The Roxy on Sunday evening. The show, which was headlined by Brian Wilson and Dick Dale, benefited The Carl Wilson foundation which whose mission is to contribute to finding a cure for cancer. The tribute began with a beautiful documentary on the man whose falsetto voice was often considered the soul of the Beach Boys and was followed by some of California’s favorite all time surf and beach bands from the ’60s.

It’s a pretty fabulous week here at The Roxy as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the club! Through the years, we’ve opened our doors to the ordinary and the extraordinary. From legendary tours from Springsteen to the Jonas Brothers - comedy runs from Cheech and Chong to Russell Brand - and stage productions from Rocky Horror Picture Show to Hedwig and the Angry Inch - we’ve seen it all! Theirs to many bands and artists, crew members, team mates, and wise ones to thank - but know that we are so thankful for all the wonderful people who have graced our stage both in front and behind the curtain over the years. We all have so many epic stories and tales and are working hard everyday to create more memories. Feel free to talk about your favorite show, most amazing experience, or re-count those nights that you can’t - quite - remember - we are proud to admit, we have plenty of those too! Here’s to another 35!
We’re normally all ages - but for this particular event - it is 18+. We just got word of this as well, so sorry for the inconvenience. Hope to see you all at a show very soon.
