Just in time for all the iPhone 4 buzz today, an app to guide you through the Hollywood Bowl has been launched. The free app, which can be downloaded beginning today for iPhone or Android, will also be available on Blackberry and mobile web in July. Features includes basics like concert information, videos, photos and how to get there. But some features are especially useful. To name a few: the GPS-enabled map to help you find seats and nearby amenities (where's the nearest bathroom or concession stand to buy a drink?) and a favorites tab to remind you of concerts you're interested in. Bowl officials also announced that AT&T has improved service throughout the 110-acre venue so your access to the app, Twitter, Facebook or whatever else you desire with more ease. more ›

As one of the best music venues closed its doors last month, another one began to prepare to take over the space, possibly ensuring the Westside a chance to keep its hip factor, at least in the music scene. Louis and Netty Ryan, the owners of the Temple Bar, have passed the keys on to another couple, Alex Fieglein and Sabrina Roark, who are set to be married soon, but plan on spending their time getting to know patrons at the club by bartending and developing new friendships. more ›

How the hell did a fight break out last night after Three 6 Mafia's show at the House of Blues in West Hollywood? The brawl led to the crowd fleeing the building with one woman getting trampled.
