The Smell

Like its name implies, this DIY all-ages club isn't the most sanitary place in the world, but when it comes to the underground music scene, it's one of the coolest spots in LA showcasing emerging bands like Toys That Kill and Xiu Xiu. Its sketchy location near Skid Row appeals to rebels and punks, as do the anti-war events and community-oriented activities that promote cycling.
