Jabberjaw was a coffeehouse and music venue in Los Angeles, California known for its all-ages underground rock music shows. Located in Arlington Heights at 3711 Pico Blvd., it was established in 1989 by Gary Dent and Michelle Carr and closed in 1997. [1] [2]
In its heyday, Jabberjaw hosted both local and traveling acts, including Weezer, that dog., Nirvana, Teenage Fanclub, Beck, Hole, Beastie Boys, Elliott Smith, and many others. [3] [4] In the mid-1990s, it released a series of four 7 inch vinyl EPs on Mammoth Records which were compiled onto a compilation CD in 1994. A second compilation CD was released in 1996. These compilations were released under the title Jabberjaw: Good To The Last Drop. [5]
The club is the subject of the book It All Dies Anyway: L.A., Jabberjaw, and the End of an Era by Bryan Ray Turcotte, Michelle Carr, Gary P. Dent, Kevin Hanley, and Michael Quercio ( Rizzoli, 2015). It is also mentioned in the song "Minneapolis", from that dog.'s 1997 album Retreat From The Sun.
