CoconutTeaszer

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a club in Hollywood right on the Sunset Strip that was host to many musicians, singers, artists, groupies, roadies/techs, rockers, punks, metalheads,djs, sound tech, dancin' fools, moguls, actors, rabble-rousers, rock stars, ex-wives and children of rock stars, bouncers, random Hollywood fixtures, minstrels, freaks and even a genius or two. That club, Young Skywalker, was THE COCONUT TEASZER (don't forget the "z").
There were many cool clubs back in the day, but the Teaszer outlasted most of them. It has the good fortune to be able to say that it is the only place in L.A. where amazing artists such as: JOHNNY THUNDERS, GREEN DAY, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, LINKIN PARK, NIRVANA, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, FEAR FACTORY, ARTHUR LEE AND LOVE, BECK (with his band "Loser"), L7, PAPA ROACH, PERRY FARRELL, HOLE, ALIEN ANT FARM, FEAR FACTORY, LUNACHICKS, STP, THE VANDALS, NOFX, POSSUM DIXON, THE MUFFS, TOOL, THE DWARVES, THE WALLFLOWERS and WEEZER all graced the CT stage at one time or another. There are TONS more bands, so we want to bring everyone together and think this page is the perfect way to get the ball rolling!
This page was started as a tribute to a place that nurtured and fanned the flames of entertainment...some more entertaining than others, true... But the desire to let loose and have fun was equal among all, whether you were lucky enough to have performed there, worked there, managed to sneak in through the patio, gotta whiff of the sawdust on the floor, drank from those giant goblets, enjoyed the hot dogs & tacos, got thrown out by the infamous Alfredo, or simply showed up in support of your favorite band. We appreciated each and every person that made the club what it was. We made the phone calls, organized the nights, and the bands got up there and rocked, but none of that would have been possible without all of the people who supported the bands and artists by their presence and dollars. So thanks to everyone who PAID to get in, and especially those who did not give the doorgirls a hard time! Lest we forget, here's a 'sHoUT oUt' to all of the VIPS who were like family, always on the "list" and always in need of a drink ticket! You know who you are!
There were lots of rooms, nooks, crannies and places to be seen: The Patio, The Pool Room, The Back Bar, The 8121 (writer's note: I refuse to call it the Crooked Bar!), the Front Counter and of course, the Office (if you were lucky). Make a friend request and feel free to post your comments and share your favorite memories!
In other words, welcome to the Teaszer Tribute Page...
YOU'RE ON THE LIST!!!
