Crush 40: Speed Of Sound Unplugged

The Regent Theater101 West 5th Street, Los Angeles 90013

Crush 40: Speed Of Sound Unplugged is billed at The Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on December 13. The billing frames the night as an unplugged presentation, while no individual performers, guests, supporting acts, release tie-ins, tributes, or other program details are listed. It takes place in The Regent’s former 1914 movie house, where the original proscenium arch and surviving plasterwork remain part of the concert room. The venue has a sloping floor and a second-floor mezzanine, offering two distinct sightlines onto the performance area.

No further background about Crush 40 is provided here: the available information does not identify where the act comes from, its members or formation beyond the billed name, its musical history, collaborators, recordings, or critical reception. The event title is the only description of the performance itself, specifying Speed Of Sound Unplugged. The Regent is on South Main Street in Downtown’s Bank District, near Pershing Square station. Prufrock Pizzeria operates inside the venue, and the attached Love Song bar serves drinks; both are options before the performance rather than part of the show listing.

The Regent’s story as a 1914 movie house is still visible in its proscenium arch and surviving plasterwork, now framing a concert room with a sloping floor and second-floor mezzanine. Most shows are ticketed and standing-room only, though occasional seated events are marked as first come, first served; check your event listing for its format and door time, and buy ahead for popular dates, since some sell out. The room is set up for live music, with the mezzanine offering another view of the stage. Before the show, you can get wood-fired pizza and other bites at Prufrock Pizzeria inside the venue, or drinks at the attached Love Song bar. The Regent is on South Main Street in Downtown’s Bank District, a short walk from Pershing Square station.
