my fave club anywhere, spundae, is hosting lee burridge on the 17th and james zabiela on the 24th. www.spundae.com avalon has really big names on saturdays a lot these days. i really dislike the blase crowd there ; they're not about the music, but that's where the music is a lot of the time . www.avalonhollywood.com i'm a big venue person, and i haven't ever been to deep, but some say its l.a.'s only "real" deep house club, and its fans are devoted ones. www.deep-la.com keep an eye on puresounds, too; they're affiliated with a few different clubs. www.puresounds.org liquified also presents about town. http://liquified.com and both groovetickets and wantickets sell. i ALWAYS buy in advance and get places relatively early. if you do both of those, you won't wait anywhere (that isn't a bullshit venue, anyway) in l.a. for longer than 15 minutes. www.groovetickets.com www.wantickets.com
