If you want to see a stellar live show in an intimate venue, you can't beat House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Which is not to say you can't go wrong here. If you don't check the schedule before you show up, you might rue your decision mightily. The calendar is very diverse, and includes everything from Unwritten Law (punk) to Warrant ('80s metal) to Super Diamond (Neil Diamond cover band). A fair number of local bands also make it onto this hallowed stage, usually with hundreds of fans, friends and family members shrieking their support from the audience. If you want to experience HOB at its most laid-back, score yourself a table at the legendary Sunday morning gospel brunch.
