We are very excited to announce that we have purchased the landmark Silver Lake club Los Globos! EPR was approached by Steve Edelson (El Cid, The Joint) in August about partnering with Steve on the club and of course we gladly accepted the opportunity. Los Globos is a historic venue in LA’s musical history, being one of the first gay nightclubs in the city, as well as hosting the first-ever legal rave in the US (Sextacy in 1989).
For the last 38 years, the club has primarily only been open three nights a week, and only the upstairs portion of the club. Our goal is to have the entire club (including the downstairs, which has been shuttered for several decades) open 7 nights a week. To accomplish this, we’ve hired Travis Holcombe to be the club’s talent buyer. When we used to throw Echo Park Records parties regularly Travis was always our resident DJ, and since then he’s become a DJ on KCRW. We’re very excited to have Travis as part of the EPR team now and we’re even more excited to see Los Globos flourish into the cultural landmark it should be. We also have some very cool news about a sister property for Los Globos but we’re not ready to spill the beans just yet…
