"Nightclubbing" is the first ever documentary about the renowned New
York City nightclub Max's Kansas City and the indelible impact it has had on
the world of music, fashion, art and culture.
As legendary Alice Cooper puts it: "A million ideas we're launched back
there", referring to the Max's Kansas City famous backroom where Andy
Warhol held court with artists, actors/actresses and musicians including the
highly influential Velvet Underground.
Max's was famous for hosting the creme de la creme of New York City luminaries
from the art world and film stars to musicians and cultural icons.
Artists, Rock Stars, Junkies, Movie Stars, Gutter Trash, Record Executives all
had a place to gather, intermingle, develop and cross pollinate.
Andy Warhol and his Superstars had a place to kick back, relax and revel in the
freedom to express themselves in a casual setting.
Max's was a place where degenerate excessivness and debauchery were so common,
that Iggy Pop bleeding on stage seemed lightweight compared to people shooting
up amphetamines and having sex in the bathroom.
Starting in 1970 Andy Warhol cohort Danny Fields books the clubs first live
music performances of The Velvet Underground, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop,
starting Max's on its way to being a live venue of credibility and influence.
The Velvet Underground and their summer 1970 residency kickstart the New York
City live original Rock music scene.
As a showcase venue, future superstar artists such as Alice Cooper, Aerosmith,
Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Madonna, U2, The Beastie Boys had a
place to develop and be discovered.
Transgender musical performances and performers had a safe proving ground to
develop.
Iggy meets Bowie. They develop a friendship that becomes a phenomenal working
artist relationship.
NYC Glam Rock had a place to develop. The New York Dolls influence both locals
and foreigners alike. The New York Dolls and the New York Punk Rock scene
inspired Malcolm McLaren to return to London from New York and put together the
Sex Pistols, thus sparking the UK Punk Rock uprising and spreading
the genre worldwide.
Art Rock had a place to start and the music duo Suicide had a place to develop
and influence the New York City scene.
Bowie deems DEVO the future of music.
The New Hardcore Punk/Post Punk Rock movement had a place to develop.
"And EVERYONE IS HIGH AS A KITE!"
All at the nightclub called Max's Kansas City.
