The '90s
In 1990 First Avenue turned 20. The club was barely out of its adolescence and already famous. Fond mentions in national magazines like Rolling Stone and Time began to pile up, but First Avenue kept its ego in check and its innovative spirit intact.
On any given week, you could see a hard core punk show back-to-back with world beat, hip hop, and a singer songwriter type. The Fugees, the Chemical Brothers, Ruben Blades, Youssou N'Dour and Dave Alvin all made appearances.
The '90s also saw the explosion of DJ culture. First Avenue launched Beatopia, with Beat Radio DJ's spinning house music in the club's new VIP Lounge, building the same buzz for DJs that the Entry fosters for local bands.
