In a strange twist of fate my girlfriend and I were both just hired at UCLA. As a result we are moving from South Florida to the City of Angels in early December. Could any kind soul please point us in the direction of venues and nights that play our kind of music? Any specific record stores we should check out? We are going to be living in Sherman Oaks but definitely want to explore everything Southern California has to offer. All leads are greatly appreciated.
