A Little Petty Cash at the Key Club

If you've been going to the Key Club on Sunset for any amount of time (or maybe like 3 years or so), you know that Monday nights are crazy. Did you know that underneath, in the Plush lounge, the party starts as early as 9PM? That's when you need to experience the magic of Petty Cash.

Comprised, in part, of current and former members of Juliette Lewis' indie band Juliette and The Licks, Petty Cash is a fantastic cover band, playing the hits and greats of Johnny Cash and Tom Petty, in a rockin', raucous, and lively set.

Featuring players like Kemble Walters ("Volume"), Todd Morse ("H20") and Jason Womack (all formerly or currently of Juliette's band), Petty Cash warms up the cockles of the Key Club in preparation for the Monday Madness which is Steel Panther (aka "Metal Skool" aka "Metal Shop" for you name purists). $3 PBRs also make it a little more enjoyable.

Petty Cash is often guested, just like Steel Panther's performances, by such folks as Pink (Alecia Moore) and the guys from Steel Panther and H20, to name a simple few.

It's not pretentious nor presumtuous. They play the Petty and Cash hits with some good hearted, half-drunken fun and show how much these guys really enjoy just playing music in general, oftentimes wailing off in a fun guitar solo or dueling guitars and drums or guitars and vocals, heighting the fun and musical flavor. I mean, how much fun is it to scream the chorus of the song "Freeballin'"? Ya know?!

For a fantastic warm up to the metal mania of Steel Panther, do check out Petty Cash at the Key Club. Usually in the Plush lounge downstairs. You know, downstairs, by the bathrooms, across from the photo booth - in that place you never go to?

Hit them up below to get on the free guest list, and then go get 'em!
