The Ché Café is a worker co-operative, social center, and live music venue located on the University of California, San Diego campus in La Jolla, California, USA. Zack de la Rocha described the Ché Café as "A place that is not only a great venue, but a source of inspiration and community building for any artist, student, or worker that has entered its doors."〔 〕 ==History== Che Cafe was founded in 1980 by several UCSD students, including Scott Kessler, Ruth Rominger, Kim Higgs, and Joy Every. The name "Che" in "Ché Café" is not only a nod to the late Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara, but it is also a backronym for "Cheap Healthy Eats". The latter name was registered with the university administration in an attempt to avoid political scrutiny.〔 〕 During the 1980s, collective members began to host reggae and punk rock shows, and in the 1990s, the space became an internationally recognized staple of the hardcore/punk/post-punk/indie rock scene. Today, the Che operates primarily as a venue for a variety of musical genres, many based around the DIY ethic, and is an on-and-off again vegan cafe and catering operation. It also acts as a resource for the music and art departments on campus through hosting art shows, performances and film screenings. Some of the most notable touring bands or musicians who have played the Che include, City of Caterpillar, Hot Cross, Green Day, Rise Against, Billy Corgan, Blonde Redhead, At the Drive-In, The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt, Black Dice, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Isis, Botch, Bright Eyes, Chumbawamba, Mike Watt, Hella, Sleep, Acid Mothers Temple, Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Bon Iver, the Damo Suzuki Network, Unwound, Jawbreaker, and Great Ghosts. The Che has also played host to many, if not most, of San Diego's most influential and notable indie bands, including Crossed Out, Drive Like Jehu, Crash Worship, Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Bay of Pigs, Clikatat Ikatowi, Gogogo Airheart, The Locust, Kill Me Tomorrow, Three Mile Pilot, Heavy Vegetable, Swing Kids, The Album Leaf, Weatherbox, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, and Cattle Decapitation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ché Café」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
