Hardcore / Screamo shows in either Los Angeles or New York during these dates?
-
We are travelling to New York on 27th-30th August and then flying over across to LA from 30th until 4th September. Whilst we are here we would like to experience what its like at US hardcore gig/show and see how the American shows compare to us Brits. Anyone know any good shows going on during these dates or any good clubs that play this sort of music? Thanks! :)

Answer:
Ahh, you should have been here in the 80's when LA had a huge hardcore scene. There used to be riots back then. One of my coworkers was in a hardcore band here in early 80's and tells me lots of interesting stories. You might want to check back closer to your arrival date. The Smell, Burgundy Room, The Echo, The California Institute of Abnormalarts, Little Cave, Bar 107, Anarchy Library in Downey, Johnny's Saloon in Huntington Beach, Doll Hut in Anaheim and Alex's Bar in Long Beach are all clubs that have punk shows or play punk and hardcore on their sound systems. Check out Headline Records on Melrose for punk, hardcore, ska music. Amoeba Music on Sunset is also great and a must-see. Some other events that you might like are the LA Derby Dolls which is roller derby. They have music before, during and after the bouts. Lucha VaVoom which is Mexican-style wrestling although this is for tattooed and pierced white people. It's really fun and I bet you can't find anything like it in the UK. Cinespia is movie watching at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, bring a picnic and your beverage of choice and watch a movie projected onto a mausoleum wall. It's very popular and people line up 2 hours before it starts. The crowd depends on the movie. The Los Angeles Coroners office has a gift shop called Skeletons in the Closet where you can get death related gifts like toe tag luggage tags and beach towels with a chalk outline on them. All of these places have websites with their calender of events which you have to check. LA clubs change themes nightly and you don't want to show up on gay Hispanic ranchero music night. You need to rent a car to get around.
