During the Mid-Sixties the room became The Red Velvet, whose house band was The Knickerbockers, who made great records such as “Lies” and “One Track Mind.” In 1969 the room became Soul’d Out, and during the ’80s probably the most reliable good venue in town, Club Lingere, booked by former Masque owner Brendan Mullen. Located near the corner of Wilcox and Sunset Boulevard; nothing of note has been done with the room since the ’90s, but the building is still there.)
