The Sunset Strip has long been a mecca for mischief. Prohibition-era poker tourneys gave way to the '60s art rock of Frank Zappa, the Doors' mind-blowing performances at the Whisky a Go Go in the '70s, and the '80s-style havoc of glam-tastic hair bands Van Halen and Mötley Crüe. The first-annual Sunset Strip Music Festival commemorates the wild history of this still-lively piece of real estate. It all goes down at the Whisky, Cat Club, Key Club, and the House of Blues, featuring Hot Hot Heat, Louis XIV, and Camper Van Beethoven, plus a panel discussion with Larry King and a slew of surprise guests.
