Something we forgot to mention last year: we won the ‘best all ages venue’ award from LA Weekly’s best of L.A. 2017 list.

until then, you can pick them up from the space for $10-15.

**SIGNAL BOOST PLEASE! ** D.I.Y. SPACE IN NEED OF HELP!** Bridgetown D.I.Y. is one of the last remaining autonomously operated infoshops and d.i.y. music/arts spaces in southern california. After a spat of local d.i.y. spaces being shut down (Pehrspace, Blood Orange Infoshop and The Dial), our community faces the brink of losing the brick and mortar groundwork of our independent, queer friendly and politically radical network of community spaces. Bridgetown has played host to hundreds of shows, workshops and other events over the three years that it has existed. The space itself is operated by an open collective, of which anybody can join and help to make decisions about how the space is run.

At the moment, the space has fallen into a deficit mostly due to unforeseen circumstances. If we are unable to make up the cost of our rent and bring in new collective members, we fear that the space may be forced out of its home. Please, if you have expendable income, consider donating it to the space so that it can continue operating. Follow this link to donate: http://www.rally.org/bridgetowndiy

On October 26th, Bridgetown DIY will host a panel discussion bringing together anarchist organizers from across the globe. This will be the only Los Angeles area date for this touring event, so do not miss it. Entry is donation based, but please bring some cash to fund the tour. Our suggestion is between $5-10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Event Link

Event calendar for this month! Hope to see some new faces at the space at some of these~

Tomorrow night, our friends in Sinai Vessel from North Carolina will be returning to the space, alongside Pillow Talk (Tennessee) to perform their brand of pop punk/emo goodness. The always awesome and super talented Pedestrian and Minnow will be providing the local support. You'll be kicking yourself in a few months when all these bands blow up and you missed this show, so don't miss it! See ya there!

this saturday, we’ll be having a bunch of amazing bands at the space, each of them friends of ours playing their own special brand of hardcore. ostraca, formerly known as kilgore trout, just released an album titled deathless on our friends' labels, middle man records & skeletal lighting records. some collective members think that this album could quite possibly be hardcore's album of the year and highly reccommend that you check it out, then catch them on their full us tour. this show will start at 730p, with doors opening at 7p, and will cost $5 with a membership and $7 without, hope to see you there!

BRIDGETOWN DIY’s 2nd ANNIVERSARY!
