About Me

(From LA.com )
Like Madonna, Hollywood is all about reinvention. The colossal King King gives itself a Kong-size makeover every single night.Not even the bar's nailed down at this sultry, sensual club. Salsa lovers looking to spice up their Tuesdays practice their moves with an instructor before Sono-Lux, the Latin-fusion house band, heats things up with hip-shaking rhythms. Most Thursdays, audience members nestled into cozy red couches whisper "ooh la la" during cabaret shows like "Leffleur des Sens," a kinky French cabaret created by Parisian native Cati Jean. On Saturdays, DJ Kemal and his cohorts from Balance spin deep house music for the post-glowstick crowd until 4am. And in what seems to be turning into an annual tradition, Southern sluts and leather-clad rebels raise hell throughout the theater in "Taking the Jesus Pill," a sacrilegious gothic-rock opera featuring both blues and burlesque. Don't be fooled by the rear entrance and dim lighting; King King's friendly and accommodating staff made us forget we were in Hollywood. —Jon Sattler

My Interests

In 1988, owner Mario Melendez, opened the King King with the intentions of showcasing roots-oriented music (Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Blues, Soul, Latin and Ska). He wanted to create a dwelling for QUALITY LIVE ENTERTAINMENT, and successfully, he converted a former Chinese restaurant (reborn, but not redecorated) into one of Hollywood's best kept secrets.

Today, the King King books everything from indie rock to cuban timba/salsa; from electro to house, and hosts a wide range of events, including: multi-media theatre, French- cabaret, record-release parties, film screenings, wine tasting parties etc...

A haven for creativity, the King King draws a celebrity crowd without being a trendy Hollywood spot thats hot one minute and not the next. King King regulars have included Iggy Pop, Billy Idol, Eric Clapton, the Gypsy Kings, Tom Waits, Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, Mick Jagger, Bruce Willis, Marc Ford, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, to name a few.
