The dream and the story that started here

While Los Angeles is rightly known as the heartbeat of the American the film industry, (i.e., Hollywood), this iconic city was also the breeding ground of the Rock and Roll era in America. “Rock Angeles” captures that drumbeat perfectly.

 In the 1960’s, a new sound and scene adorned the nightclubs such as Pandora’s Box, The Central, Gazzarri’s,  Whiskey a Go-Go and The Roxy. Legendary bands like The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Doors, Three Dog Night, The Turtles and The Eagles, among countless others, all introduced their versions of Rock music in a creative new era that revolutionized the music industry.  Other iconic clubs, that were part of the music scene, located just south of the strip, P.J.’s (later became The Starwood) and Doug Weston’s Troubadour, that helped launch the careers of Elton John and James Taylor.

 Although, Hollywood and its film industry, has been the icon for Los Angeles, the genesis of Rock and Roll is the music backdrop of Los Angeles and this indigenous sound is L.A.’s gift to the world. Rock on, Rock Angeles!
