New mag: Where to go for L.A. music

LOS ANGELES - A new magazine called Movies Rock debuts Nov. 1 with a feature on where to go in Los Angeles to check out the music scene.

The magazine says you're as likely to see celebrities in the audience as you are to hear great music from the stage at any of the following venues:

-Safari Sam's, 5214 W. Sunset Blvd., with an anything-goes showcase for punk, rock and even cabaret.

-Spaceland, 1717 Silver Lake Blvd., described as a "hipster haven" for "the latest darlings of indie rock's Pitchfork Web site."

-The Echo, 1822 Sunset Blvd., an Eastside institution for "post-punk" and "mutant disco."

-The Smell, 247 S. Main St., a funky no-frills warehouse for the latest underground sensations. You've been warned: There is no bar.

-Largo, 432 N. Fairfax Ave., where performers have included Emmylou Harris and Fiona Apple. Shhh! No talking allowed during shows.

-Troubadour, 9081 Santa Monica Blvd., where tickets are scarce and bands run the likes of Coldplay and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

-The Hotel Cafe, 1623 1/2 N. Cahuenga Blvd., offers mood lighting and an audience that Movie Rocks says has included Scarlett Johansson, Zach Braff, and Zooey Deschanel.

Movie Rocks will be included as a supplement in the December issues of 14 Conde Nast magazines, including Conde Nast Traveler.
