FIGHTS THREATEN HOUSE OF BLUES’ HOLLYWOOD FUTURE
Los Angeles officials are fighting to revoke or suspend Hollywood music mecca the House of Blues’ entertainment license after a series of fights at the venue.
West Hollywood councilman John Heilman introduced his initiative to clamp down on the venue and its management at a meeting on Monday night (06Oct08). He claims bosses at the House of Blues haven’t improved security, despite a spate of arrests related to violent incidents in the past 12 months.
In his report, Heilman revealed police have been called to the venue over 100 times in the past year, and they’ve made 44 arrests.
The report reads, “For the last several years, the House of Blues has had a history of serious problems and an unwillingness to address these problems.
“After each serious incident, there is a perfunctory apology and a promise to reform, but the problems persist and have escalated.”
