About:You know that any club featuring bands called Vomit Bomb and The Pukers on the same night probably isn't a place to take the parents. The Smell is a small, bare-bones warehouse showcasing the best of underground art and music. The club name possibly derives from the musty aroma that hangs in the air as a result of many sweaty people jammed into such limited space, or perhaps it's a reference to the less-than-glamorous location. Leave your delicate sensibilities at home and enjoy fresh talent. Shows are for all ages, so alcohol isn't on the menu but vegan snacks and tea are!

    my kind of dive: ever since Al's Bar closed, i have no where to go to listen to cool underground music, in a cool setting. most rock joints are too cleaned up. i am an old school punk. i go back to the days of the Masque. the Smell is the closest to to that spirit, and it is close to0 me, i can get there and back on the bus. i live in boyle heights. the price is cheap, all ages are welcome. there is no booze, so the violence is not there. i can go to the anacrchy library for that. i like the music, and even though the poeple that runit are rude to me (they think i am some old fart, when in fact yes i am, but i use to be an underground star myself back in the 70's)
