West Hollywood and great live music go hand in hand, especially on The Sunset Strip. The 1960s and 70s were a music playground for bands like Led Zeppelin and The Doors. Today it's still a huge draw for rock, indie rock, reggae and hip hop. On any given night you can catch a show at venues like The Viper Room , where previous owner Johnny Depp had Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as the opening act; The Whiskey A Go-Go , where Go-Go Girls once danced as musicians like Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and Led Zeppelin performed. Today, you can find rock and metal bands at this intimate venue; The Roxy has hosted acts like Neil Young, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and Prince. And The Rocky Horror Picture Show got its start here; The Key Club is home to the best in Hip Hop, but bands like The Doors and Van Halen got their start here; The House of Blues , a long-standing West Hollywood tradition hosts the biggest and the best, such as Rihanna. And just off the famed strip, The Troubador is known for showcasing emerging artists from the U.K., as well as punk and rock/hardcore bands, and singer-songwriters. Whatever your musical tastes, you are sure to find the perfect venue for you.
