'somewhere close to los angeles' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bum echoed brando' is the wordplay.
'bum' indicates anagramming the letters (bum can mean faulty or wrong).
'echoed'+'brando'='echoedbrando'
'echoedbrando' anagrammed gives 'REDONDO BEACH'.
