Avalon Hollywood, a fixture on the electronic dance music scene since its opening in 2003 in the old Palace space, has undergone a substantial renovation that includes a new sound system. The building dates from the 1920s. Here, patrons dance in during the main event of the club’s Grand Reveal series marking its transformation on May 10, 2014. (Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times)
Wayne & Woods spin for a crowded dance floor at Avalon Hollywood on May 10, 2014. Erick Morillo, who also performed, told The Times’ August Brown, “The new sound system was unreal. You could stand on the floor and feel the bass and still have a conversation -- it was loud, but it was perfect. Whatever they put in there, I have to get one for my house.” (Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times)
