Rainbow Bar and Grill Patio Dubbed “Lemmy’s Lounge”

November 30, 2016

Exciting news to share, the Rainbow Bar and Grill will be named “Lemmy’s Lounge” in honor of the late Lemmy Kilmister, rock’s greatest frontman. Check out the news below: Heavy rock legends MOTÖRHEAD, in collaboration with West Hollywood’s famous Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip, have agreed to dedicate their patio to Lemmy Kilmister and re-name it ‘Lemmy’s Lounge’ in memory of rock’s greatest frontman. It is a fitting gesture from the Rainbow, as when Lemmy wasn’t touring or recording, the majority of his waking hours were spent on said-patio. There is already a life size bronze statue immortalizing Lemmy at The Rainbow, which attracts fans from all over the world, and Lemmy’s Lounge will allow hardcore fans and casual patrons alike to sample the wares and atmosphere that Lemmy loved so much.   To celebrate Lemmy’s Lounge, Roxy owner Nic Adler and Goldenvoice’s Paul Tollett have kindly agreed to allow the painting of a celebratory mural commemorating the life of Lemmy and MOTÖRHEAD on the side wall of the Roxy, opposite Lemmy’s [Read More]

November 29, 2016

Pop artist JoLivi has released her  new single, Love Who You Wanna Love.  JoLivi talks about her personal experiences and passion behind the track exclusively with Bust Magazine – read here: http://bust.com/music/18658-jolivi-bust-premiere.html.    This track begins a new conversation for JoLivi, personally and as an artist. “Love who you want to love” is a expression of how I believe everyone should go through life—and that is without judgment,” she told Bust Magazine. “I’ve had friends struggle through times of confusion on their orientation and before my own experience I had always encouraged them to break free and not care about what anyone else will think of them.
