My Favorite Taco ~ The Gaslamp Killer

Willy Bensussen, AKA the Gaslamp Killer burst onto the LA scene with his trademark frenetic energy, wild but impeccable taste in records, and unique approach to heavy, heavy beats. Now a certified global phenomenon, GLK still holds down Low End Theory and represents LA worldwide wherever he goes. On September 18th, he will release his first full-length record Breakthrough on Brainfeeder records. The album is being hailed by critics and peers as something truly original and special, a unique trip through the mind of a madman.

But what we really wanted to know, is where does GLK get his tacos. So, Willy, what's your favorite taco?

L.A. will also have to reimburse the street vendors for their past fines relating to this controversial sign. However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
