All we can say to 2004 is ... good riddance. Here are some ways to ensure your Y2Cinco won’t stinko: First up on our New Year’s Eve menu, lover girl’s at the House of Blues in WeHo. That’s right, Teena Marie will sing you a sweet song and raise the spirit of Rick James. Freaky and funky.... And for more funk in your trunk, head to the Vault in the LBC for the Gap Band, auteurs of such rump-shaking hits as “You Dropped a Bomb on Me” and “Early in the Morning.” Copacetic....

And to live your very own rock ‘n’ roll fantasy, head to the Roxy for Metal Skool, a rock-comedy troupe so adept it makes spandex and big hair look sexy again.... Hollywood bars Daddy’s and the Well are offering their first New Year’s Eve two-fer. One cover charge gets you wristbands for both bars and no waiting in line....
