As the name suggests, The Anti-Club was the antithesis of the slick Hollywood clubs. Run by Helen Guttman, this hole-in-the-wall championed the weird and the aggressive.
Crucial venue for System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, and Minutemen. Essential for the "minutemen" style of art-punk and the burgeoning alternative metal scene, providing a home for bands too experimental for mainstream venues.
Weird and aggressive. Art-punk and alternative metal.
