EVERY SUNDAY – Hollywood
Good Times at Davey Wayne’s in Hollywood presents Strange Hotels, every Sunday night. Featuring 70’s DJ sets, an energetic and charismatic host, and a live performance by Strange Hotels, it’s a whole ass vibe.
Strange Hotels- Indie- Electro Rock Duo
Opening to a buzzing crowd of all ages, cultures, and persuasions–in an eclectic industrial atmosphere complete with burlesque dancers, smoke machines, and incense – the barefoot duo delivered an energetic set of life and synthesized dance sound and know-how-to to keep their audience engaged. Their continuous energetic, driven show resulted in a bumper-to-bumper dance floor as they performed to a packed house of diverse, die-hard hipster fans.
After touring for years as a part of Portland’s iconic touring band The Lower 48, cousins Ben Braden and Nick Sadler formed their indie-electro duo Strange Hotels in early 2018, and within weeks of forming the duo, they had the opportunity to open for Billie Eilish and Finneas at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland. Their songs have also been featured in several TV shows including Shameless, Viceʼs King Of The Road, and Conan O’Brien’s Needs a Friend. They have described Strange Hotels as the most collaborative project they have been a part of and are a sonic blend of dance, R&B, vintage pop, and indie rock. They have taken a very DIY approach to record their songs, recording and producing their music solely on iPads. This allowed them to record in Airbnb’s and apartment studios on the road and, as a result, they released their debut and well-received EP Mixtape in January of 2018. They moved to Los Angles in 2019 and booked a residency at their favorite club, booked other gigs, and wrote a new batch of songs, releasing their second EP, Mixtape II, at the end of 2019. Going through some hard times during the pandemic and shutdowns in the music industry, with things having opened back up, they have been staying busy! They recently released their latest single “Teen Dream Fantasy”, a dreamy hit that strikes a chord of nostalgia with uplifting and energetic production, captivating synth work, and a stellar groove, produced by The Strokes’ producer Gordon Raphael.

David Wayne Houston, father to Mark and Jonnie Houston, was a blue-collar pool shark who enjoyed late nights in his garage building and fixing things–some of the brothers’ best memories. Known by his friends (and the ladies) as Davey, this 70’s bar is a tribute to him and to all who have lost their dads.
