your a hot mamma

where are you from

um mmmm!

Depends on what kind of crowd you want... or where you want to go. I'm not an expert on the sound stuff... but here is a list of a few places I've been:

Dimples in Burbank
For truly a truly cheesy experience try this place. But if you really want to sing, I'd avoid Dimples on the weekend. Long rotations and they stop to sing Happy Birthday for each person there for a BD party.

Sardo's in Burbank
Pretty cool and laid back. Not what I was expecting, but turned out to be fun. They have a good selection and they don't try and talk between songs. Plus their songbook is on their website. My friend and I went on a Saturday night at about 9:00 and there were only about 20 people in the whole bar. By 12 it was packed. Even saw a semi-famous actor singing that night. FYI... They have a $10 minimum for food or drinks per person. That might just be on weekends, though.

The Aztec Hotel in Monrovia, CA
So its kinda like a locals hang-out... But they do Karaoke in two different locations of the hotel depending on the night. The Brass Elephant is their bar and the stage is a bit more "intimate" while the Mayan Room is a larger room and draws a larger crowd. They are in the bar a few nights during the week (not sure which ones) and on Sunday night, but they do Karaoke every Friday and Saturday in the Mayan Room. aztechotel.com/schedule.html

Acapulco Mexican Restaurant in Monrovia, CA
If you really want to sing and don't care about a crowd. This is a great place. Been there on Saturdays after about 10 and was able to sing about 5 songs. Not much of a crowd, but you will get some hardcore singers who bring their own stuff, too. A good place to practice or try something new.

Plus, there's a new place in Pasadena I want to try out. I guess it just opened. They do Karaoke on Wednesday from 7:30 til Midnight. Bragging about their "Las Vegas stage and lighting".
