June Boom! The Sunset Strip was on fire this month. SSMF, Crystal Castles sold-out midnight show, TRVS+DJAM w/ Too Short and (last but not least)the return of Shuvel, all made June a hit. Coming off of May, we worried if we would be able to keep the great photos coming. We were not dissapointed. Great job everyone! A Special “what up!” goes out imnotuna, Never Cool in School, totallylikeduh! and letsflyawaythistime, all who are contributing members of The Roxy Theatre Flickr Group. Nice work, keep it coming. If you want to shoot at The Roxy contact us at theroxy@mac.om and we will try to accommodate you the best we can. Thanks again to everyone who added over 1000 shots to the group this month. Hit us with your best shot! Fire Away!!!
We’re still recovering from the Crytsal Castles mania - and apparently MTV is too!
Check out the review of the show!
Laws of economics (stay with me here) state that scarcity creates value, and Crystal Castles’ anonymity as the anti-rockstars only made me desperately want to know everything about them. You’ll be hard-pressed to find clear photos of either member, they shoot down any suggestions of fame, and they always understate their own popularity.
But on the other hand, they did add another Roxy show two nights later due to overwhelming demand, and they are also the newest group to enter the ring up against the big record labels. You can find a full quality, fully tagged and fully free mp3 of “Crimewave” for download on Nine Inch Nails’ Web site. After my encounter with Crystal Castles, it’s clear that they’re a shining example of a band that is truly in it for the music. Expect much more from Crystal Castles in the upcoming months, because whether they like it or not, they’re going to be huge.
Over the last couple weeks we have been spoiled by Dim Mak and Company. A MSTRKRFT video shoot with with Nore, LA Riots, Felix Cartal, Lazaro Casanova and Steve Aoki. Couple days later Aoki Played The Elements of Life Benefit. Then Crystal Castles came in and basically took over the club. Every email, comment and phone call we received over the last week was about them. So many that we were forced to add a Friday Midnight performance. Both shows were completely sold out. We can’t wait to have them back. It felt as we are starting to witness a change in the music scene and we love it. Check out some of the vids and pics the captured the fun over the last month.
Thanks to the guys at Club Soda Media, Darren Kim and Erik Voake for the pics.

Our wonderful month of Mayhem with Camp Freddy has really set a high standard for future residency’s to come. And we’re pretty sure the Hybrid machine that is Travis Barker live on drums and DJ AM spinning the night away…is pretty much perfection. We’re happy to have them on the last Wednesday of JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST. That’s June 25, July 30, and August 27 for all of you without your handy ical. So come join us - tickets can be found on ticketmaster by clicking here and as always 310 278 9457 to call us directly for tickets.

For all of you who called us crying and begging for tickets…your dignity has been restored. A SECOND Crystal Castles show has been added at MIDNIGHT on Friday 6/13 - brought to you by our friends at HARD and DIM MAK! It’s going to be amazing… obviously. So try not to be so slow, and get your tickets FAST. For now, tickets will only be available thru the Roxy box office, so call us soon and join the party. You can reach us at 310 278 9457! See you then!
MSTRKRFT is back tomorrow - shooting a hot new video and putting on a special show! MSTRKRFT always brings the hot party, so make sure you come down and join us. Doors are at 10pm, so come down early to make sure you get it!
Check them out at on of their past Roxy performances!
We were just as bummed as you all were when the original Crystal Castles show was postponed - but we can’t be happier to have them here June 11th. They have DJ’d their way into our hearts and we know this show is going to be amazing. Obviously you know that too, as the show is sold out. And a reminder, if you held on to your original tickets from March - we can’t wait to see you! Those tickets will be carried over, no problemo.
If you ask me, going out on a Sunday night is a perfect way to usher in the work week. AND most of us have Monday off- perfect! Lucky for you, we have legendary ?uestlove ready to spin the night away TOMORROW. This will be a hot night on the town.
Now that we have started our own Flickr group, The Roxy Theatre, anyone can add their photos taken at The Roxy or On The Rox to share with the world. So far we have received over 1500 photos from over 100 members. At the beginning of each month we will post our favorites in our “Shots From The Top” post. Keep shooting and post often, thanks to all who contributed.
Special shout out to our friends HERE - who doesn’t love free tickets to a great show?!
We’re really excited for Swedish lounge-pop outfit Little Dragon to finally be coming Stateside. We’ve been spinning “Fortune” pretty much non-stop since it first came into our realm a few weeks ago, and now we have the opportunity to offer some tickets for you guys to win (we know—no need to thank us). The band are playing at the Roxy in West Hollywood, CA on April 4th (with guests Garth Trinidad and Jason Bentley), and we’re sure it will be a magical night to remember. We have two pairs of tickets for giveaway, and all you have to do is sign up for our mailing list if you haven’t already (email field on the right) and send an email to contests@rcrdlbl.com with “LITTLE DRAGON” in the headline. Winners will be chosen at random. Good luck!
Arguably one of the most buzzed about artist in SXSW this year, and gearing up to play the beloved Coachella festival…we know Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip is going to be huge. Our friends at KROQ already gave it their stamp of approval…which basically means - they’re the next big thing…come check it out! Tickets available thru the box office and thru ticketmaster!
