"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.

Dudeski/Chip Baker Films is proud to announce the release of their new film "Rolling Stone Life and Death of Brian Jones," a Danny Garcia film.

A limited run of screenings have been scheduled in select markets worldwide January thru April 2020 before the film’s release on DVD in mid-April.

"Rolling Stone Life and Death of Brian Jones" is the first documentary about the founder and original leader of The Rolling Stones.

"Beautifully put together and engrossing from start to end".
Irvine Welsh - Author of "Trainspotting"

"A frank, attention-stealing tribute and worthwhile addition to any Stones enthusiast’s collection."
Brett Dunford, Louder Than War

In the mid-1960s, Brian Jones emerged as ‘the face’ and poster boy of the Bohemian Swingin’ London scene, topping the charts with The Rolling Stones and dating model/actress Anita Pallenberg.

However, his excessive lifestyle and his reputation as ‘ the original bad boy of Rock & Roll’ was to cost him dearly. As the scene descended into the acid ridden year of 1967 so did Brian. Targeted by the authorities and media, he spiraled out of control losing both Anita and the respect of the Stones. Two years later, Brian was found at the bottom of his swimming pool, the verdict: death by misadventure.

During the last 50 years many theories have emerged, claiming that Brian was murdered and that it was covered up at high level, as this film discovers – the evidence for this is extremely compelling.

The film had a highly successful world premiere this past December 16th in London at the Regent Street Cinema.
