Customers at The Roxy were rockin’ out as usual last night when smoke coming from the neon in front of the building provided a little more excitement than anyone was hoping for.

Smoke was spotted coming from the marquee area of the club, located at 9009 West Sunset Blvd, at about 10:30pm.

“Something smelled funny so I came downstairs, saw smoke and the fire department arrived,” said Lauren Rothman, who was in the On The Rox bar area.

By 11:05pm, everything was under control and The Roxy sent a message via their Twitter account: “All is safe and we’re back open! Small electrical fire started by neon transformer box. Big thanks to the Los Angeles County Fire Department for their quick response. The show must go on!”

Sunset Blvd was closed in both directions for about 30 to 45 minutes while Fire Department personnel took care of business.
