The iconic venue which is covered in posters and pictures of many of the amazing artists that have graced that very stage such as Foo Fighters, Jim Morrison, Janis, Grateful Dead, Green Day, Slash, just to name a few.

Maggie Szabo rocks LA and then heads for New York (but she’ll be back) by Patrick O’Heffernan

August 14, 2014

  Maggie Szabo left fans at the Silverlake Lounge with a lightning bolt of a parting shot before heading off to a recording session in New York Monday night.  A high energy, beat-driven eight-song set, finished off with her hit single “Tidal Waves and Hurricanes” kept the packed club moving and dancing.  Sparks and flames were practically flying out of Maggie and her band she was so on. I have seen Maggie live three times, most recently at the Hotel Café in February, and she has grown and improved orders of magnitude – and she was top rated to start with.  Her band  Monday night–  regular drummer  Sam Campbell, the kick-ass Kyle Calvillo on lead guitar, Steven Shook on rhythm guitar and Sonny Kennelly on bass – were so tight they moved with Maggie without a nanometer between them.  They showed a Grammy-level of professionalism that was a joy to watch. Maggie was among friends at the Lounge – part of her huge and constantly growing fan base – as she shouted out to various [Read More]
