FM Station is Back!

Besides Ron Kaye's Bastille Day storming of City Hall, Monday is a big day in LA for another reason: Legendary North Hollywood rock joint FM Station returns



The once popular venue hosted numerous local bands as well as major acts spanning the era from "Rock and Roll" to "Grunge."



Then sometime in the 90s, the music stopped playing and the venue became a Latin music dance club. 



In an incredible turn of fate a legend has been re-born and starting tonight for at three nights a week Hacienda Corona Salon de Baile on Victory and Lankershim is once again FM Station.  Earlier in the year, the band Jones Street rented the venue for an FM Station reunion and the attendance was so overwhelming the current owner asked the band if they would bring back FM Station permanently.  It's really interesting to see live rock music make a comeback like this but I also think it's a sign that North Hollywood is undergoing yet another transformation.  It would be great to see the live clubs come back.




Now maybe we can bring back The Palomino and cruising Van Nuys Blvd. on Wednesday nights!
