   A great place. Some big name bands and some not so big name bands. One dollar Lowenbraus in a plastic cup!

   The Anti Club kicked ass. I saw Firehose, SWA, Lovedolls, St. Vitus & many other cool SST punk bands there 1986—I remember the lady owner came out from behind the bar w/ a gun when a fight broke out during a St. Vitus gig. Good times!

   I loved going to the Anti-Club in the mid-80’s! I remember seeing a lot of SST Records bands like SWA, Sylvia Juncosa, St. Vitus, Firehose, To Damascus, The Mentors, BL’AST & more. I loved the cheap hot dogs and beers. Great memories.

   I remember seeing Nine Inch Nails here, maybe around 1990, before they got to be so big. At some point in the show girls started getting up on stage and pulling their tops off. The band and most fans were amused by the “amateur show.” Security did nothing at first, but eventually one started snaking her pants off. Then it became a melee, and the stage was rushed.

    I remember in 1986 standing in line next to Brian Setzer and just casually chatting for 15 minutes before going in the club. L.A. was such a different animal in those days.

    My favorite band there was Live Nude. Where have they gone?

    My band played our very first show at The Anti Club opening for our buddies Mortitia. We went on to play two more shows here over the next few months. This place gave us our start. Lots of good memories.
