After Hours at the Burgundy Room

When James Logan’s not being drowned by Jason Statham, dragged behind cars by Johnny Depp, or knocked out by Ice Cube, he’s snatching purses from Tori Spelling, pulling guns on John Travolta, and voicing smart-ass dogs in Super Bowl commercials.

With twenty-three years in the biz, he’s a much-respected stuntman and actor, who claims his training comes from jumping off roofs and riding around on car tops in high school. It’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. James Logan.

Photographer Gregory Bojorquez has had some seminal moments in his life, one of which landed his work on the front page of the LA Times, as well as a hundred other news outlets around the world. It was December, 2011. On his way to the bank, Gregory found himself caught in the crossfire of a deadly shootout between LAPD and a lone gunman at the corner of Sunset & Vine in Hollywood. Instinctively, Gregory ducked for cover, drew out his camera, and began capturing all the horror as Police shot the gunman dead.

The series of photographs went on to be part of a collection named .45 Blank and Gregory went on to have his name further solidified as one of the most talented, unique, and important photographers ever to come out of the city of Los Angeles. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. Gregory Bojorquez.

Keith Morris is a punk rock icon who has influenced everyone from Green Day to Nirvana. A boisterous kid from Hermosa Beach, who wanted nothing more than to sidestep inheriting his father’s bait and tackle empire, Keith helped launch the hardcore punk movement that steamrolled through Southern California in the late ’70s, as lead vocalist and founding member of Black Flag and The Circle Jerks.

In between creating a new genre of music and helping define an era, Keith Morris has played with everyone from Chuck Berry to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, not to mention surviving drug and alcohol abuse, diabetes, and a suicide attempt on the Santa Monica Freeway.

Punk rock means many things: a musical genre, a lifestyle, an attitude—Keith Morris personifies them all. Enjoy this after hours conversation with the man himself.

In 2007, Johnny Depp said of Bruce Witkin: “This guy is someone I’ve known for 30 years. He’s a brother. We worked in bands together, we were on the road together, we lived together.”

One of those bands was The Kids, which Bruce started in Florida back in 1978, and with whom he and Johnny would move out to L.A. with seeking fame and fortune. Cut to almost 40 years later and Bruce and Johnny are in another band together, a little rock supergroup called the Hollywood Vampires, featuring Joe Perry, Matt Sorum, and Alice Cooper.

In between The Kids and The Vampires, Bruce has worked with everyone from Paul McCartney to Marilyn Manson, as well as producing movie soundtracks like The Lone Ranger, The Rum Diary, and Sweeney Todd, for which he was nominated for a Grammy.

He’s one of the baddest musicians in L.A. and a pretty mean poker player. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this (very smokey) After Hours conversation with Mr. Bruce Witkin.

Lias Saoudi, lead singer of the English rock band Fat White Family, has been described as a drink and drug-wracked nihilist degenerate, not to mention an enthusiast of onstage nudity, Nazi history, and animal carcasses. A self-professed humanitarian, Lias rejects the nihilist label, but he’s got no problem talking drugs, art, politics, fascism, classism, gentrification, yuppification, or anything else you want to throw his way.

His band’s the most exciting thing to come out of the U.K. in years, and Lias’s voice is surely one of the most compelling. So sit back, turn off the lights, and enjoy this After Hours conversation with the inimitable Lias Saoudi.
