The Echo and Echoplex
|
Party Earth Review: Known as two of the city’s prime performance venues for LA’s independent music scene, the connected spaces The Echo and Echoplex also feature some of the most creative club nights in town that attract a diverse mix of hipsters, punk rockers, goth kids, and die-hard music snobs. Upstairs at The Echo, casually stylish patrons will find a dark and sparsely furnished space consisting of a bar and a lone long couch on one side, and a stage and concert floor on the other – a black-box aesthetic that puts the focus on the roster of lesser-known indie bands and the fans that follow them. The larger Echoplex downstairs occasionally features the likes of Beck and Nine Inch Nails, though a more underground indie scene prevails there as well. While the venue provides a couple of bars and some limited seating on a scattering of stools, couches, and oversized ottomans, the crowd doesn't have much interest in sitting, as the slightly pretentious alternative types would rather pack the floor space to dance and sing along with the band. Music lovers who prefer a more relaxed and welcoming vibe, but with the same high energy, will definitely want to check out the popular club nights, when both The Echo and Echoplex draw more outgoing yet still eclectic crowds intent on dancing – and flirting – to the sounds of reggae, dub, Motown, and everything in between. ... read full review |

The Echo and Echoplex Review
Tip from Jonah:
“One of my favorite LA nights starts at the Echo with a Little Dragon performance, or the Echoplex for a RZA show before heading to the Short Stop for a last call PBR.”
