This is the grand old Los Angeles rock club--a fixture since the ‘60s that has played host over the years to everyone from Led Zeppelin to Elvis Costello to Smashing Pumpkins... If you want to hear something new, yet sample the history and tradition of Los Angeles rock, the Whisky is where you go. The club is every bit as indestructible as rock ‘n’ roll itself.
