More details are coming out regarding The Temple Bar closing its doors at the end of next month. The venue's booker, Dexter Story, described closing as bittersweet. "We're going to miss this place," he said over the phone this afternoon. As to why owners Louie and Netty Ryan are choosing to close the venue, Story forwarded a letter they have been sending out (the full letter is posted in full below this story):

A listing of LAist picks for music in Los Angeles tonight. Includes Of Montreal, Poncho Sanchez, The Walkmen, Coheed & Cambria and more...

Oh, that Peanut Butter Wolf. Leave it to one of LA's busiest DJs to stick it to the digital music crowd by dusting off a week's worth of vinyl and taking his 45 road show to more than half a dozen of the most popular clubs in town.

Ready Fire Aim @ The Good Hurt

If Res, Garth and Me'shell like them, they must be good, right? Well, tonight you get to decide for yourself as A Race of Angels performs at Little Temple while Jeremy Sole spins the afrobeat, funk and hip hop records. They will also perform with Me'Shell Ndegeocello Monday night at the El Rey. A Race of Angels are an LA based contemporary soul/funk explosion. Think Zero 7 with some kick. They've worked with other local underground soul artists (aka Temple Bar regulars) like GB. We were thinking about staying in tonight and curling up with a good book but the driving force of the drums and strings on our favorite track off of Broadcast Live -- "Michael & The Force" - might just drive us right on over to Little Temple by 10:30 tonight. $10 at the door.

We're not in love with the Curtis Mayfield Remixed album. Outside of an excellent reinterpretation of Superfly as a latin dance joint by Little Louis Vega and our love of Freddie's Dead in any form, it's simply OK. Tonight's birthday tribute to Mayfield at Little Temple, though, should be anything but just OK. DJ Jeremy Sole and KCRW's Tom Golubic (who is also the music supervisor for Six Feet Under *ahem* Contest!) should be funking you up in the main area and Rhino records is giving away a bunch of stuff (including full albums and samples of Remixed) so you can decide about this stuff for yourself. $10 at the door or email here to get up on that Dervish friends list for a discount.

Need to shake off the sight of two trains crashing and the anger over a selfish act causing so much pain and loss? Yeah, we do too. Thankfully, Pete Rock -- easily one of the 5 best hip hop DJs to ever command the ones and twos -- will be at The Conga Room tonight. RSVP is required to get in (and sadly it looks like RSVP is closed) but if you arrive early, you just might be able to gain entrance.

You've probably heard the distinctive voice of Jennifer Johns coming through your radio but just didn't know it. The sometime Los Angeles resident has done voiceover work for LA Weekly, Pacific Bell, and Macy's. Her deep, throaty voice is captivating, even more so when she's singing.

Not that any ball drops here in Los Angeles and it frustrates us to no end that we don't have a signature New Year's celebration. That said, hopefully you're better prepared for the dawning of 2005 than we are. Those last minute invitations to join someone on their private jet to South Beach or Vegas to ring in the New Year just aren't rolling in like we'd hoped.
