The World Famous Doll Hut in Anaheim, CA

This past Summer we had the chance to play the World Famous Doll Hut in Anaheim, CA. As you may recall from our previous post about this show, the 49 capacity Doll Hut has at some time or another hosted some of Southern California’s biggest punk and rock bands, including The Offspring, Brian Setzer and Weezer.

Recently, the Doll Hut announced that it has been sold to new owners and will no longer exist as the punk and rock club. These tiny hole in the wall venues are cool, and we were glad to be able to play there before it shut down.

We recorded this show, and have it here in its entirety, including two brand new songs, called “Sand,” and “Give It All.” Enjoy!

Inside The Black live at The Three Clubs August 15, 2012

You know how the little hole in the wall restaurants are often the best places to eat? Well, it’s the same with rock clubs!

Not far from the Sunset Strip, yet far enough, is a place called The Three Clubs. Established in 1991, it sits in the heart of Hollywood, seemingly worlds away from both the well-known Sunset Strip and the relatively nascent, artsy Silverlake / Los Feliz scenes.

Both fans and musicians that come to Los Angeles are often surprised that the famed Sunset Strip is technically in West Hollywood – a city that is decidedly buttoned down and full of rules. There are very few live rock clubs in Hollywood proper, with The Three Clubs probably having been around the longest of those that still exist.

The Three Clubs reflects the fast and loose attitude of Hollywood, in contrast to that of West Hollywood and other parts of Los Angeles. For example, where do you park? Find a dark spot on the street somewhere! There sure as hell aren’t 10 parking lot attendants waving you down, ready to swindle you for $10 or more. Nor are there any fancy new credit-card-taking parking meters that have to be fed until 2am.

The outside of the club is dark, now painted black, and I’m not even sure there is a proper sign out front — only three dark gold clubs painted on the outside wall, and a small neon sign that says “cocktails.” Within walking distance down Santa Monica Blvd you can solicit a transsexual if your heart so desires. Walk up Vine St and you will find the homeless occupying odd cubby holes found in the sides of various buildings, in stark contrast to the glamorous reputation of Hollywood. This is not to glorify these things, but it is simply what surrounds the club, and what makes up modern-day Hollywood.

Inside, The Three Clubs feels both swanky and seedy. Order a cocktail and drink it in a dark corner. Strike up a conversation with a girl in a little black dress drinking a Cosmo, then get drowned out by a gritty rock band playing too loud. It’s all part of the atmosphere, and you’ll love it.

We are proud to say that we will be performing here on Wednesday, August 15th. Doors are at 10pm and there is NO COVER.

Come out and hang with us, because this is going to be a fun night, unlike what you will find in any other part of Los Angeles.

24 JulLive From The Viper Room

Inside The Black LIVE at The Viper Room

Inside The Black LIVE at The Viper Room

We have recently had the opportunity to play a couple of gigs at The Viper Room. The venue is world famous for not only being on The Sunset Strip, but for having been owned by Johnny Depp and for being the location of River Phoenix’s death. But today, more importantly, it’s a fairly intimate venue with great sound and great lights, a constant stream of great L.A. bands, and a lot of fun to play.

While we have played The Viper Room before, it has been about two years. Our first show here recently was on June 12, 2012. This was a great show with a couple of other cool bands, The Glombies and Dave Edery.

We played here again on July 20, 2012, for the 25th Anniversary of Guns n’ Roses’ “Appetite for Destruction” show. Once again, The Viper Room put together a great bill with Brando’s Island, Coma, and The Lonely Drunks Club Band playing “Appetite” in its entirety.

We were able to record the first show and have some selections for you here! Take a look and leave a comment to let us know what you think.

Smile Empty Soul with Evolove and Inside The Black at the Whisky Jan 25

Smile Empty Soul with Evolove and Inside The Black at the Whisky Jan 25

On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, Inside The Black will perform at the Whisky with heavy alternative band Smile Empty Soul, who had a Top 10 Alternative hit with “Bottle Of A Bottle.” You know the chorus when you hear it, as it features the memorable line “I do it for the drugs.”

Buy discount tickets for this show at http://bit.ly/smileemptysoultickets for only $11 total. The show is all ages! Also performing will be Evolove.

Smile Empty Soul formed while its three members were still in Santa Clarita, CA, high schools. After honing their sound with numerous hometown gigs, the band began venturing to the Sunset Strip, and eventually signed a deal and released their self-titled debut in May 2003. With its screeching guitars and singer Danielson’s rage-filled vocals, the album was indebted to the alternative sounds of the early ’90s.

This is going to be a bad ass show and will sell out!!! Get your discount tickets at http://bit.ly/smileemptysoultickets before they’re gone!
