Live! On Sunset interviews Nick Adler, the owner and son of the founder of the Roxy. The Roxy is a famous place where performances happen all the time. Famous bands like System of a Down and Incubus performed at the Roxy before they got big.

Video Transcription

The Roxy started in 1973 when my dad was managing and The Troubadour just was not treating him right. He did not feel like the artist were getting taken cared of and he basically said, “I want to go up the street and open my own venue.” And it was really about bringing together the different communities that are in Hollywood and then having a place that they all could really enjoy a great show. I came to The Roxy right in the early 90s when System of a Down and Incubus to watch them go from nothing to be some of the biggest fans in the world knowing that they started on this little stage here on Sunset. Those are my fondest memories at The Roxy. Whatever is happening, whether it is a legend or whether it is a breaking band, they usually come to here. This is Nick Adler, The Roxy Theater and you are watching Live on Sunset.
