The
Punk nostalgia industry has sold us a view dominated by the
Sex Pistols, Clash, Sid Vicious and the usual suspects.
Here's
another!
Welcome
to the Roxy London WC2. A club central to the rise and
spread of Punk Rock in 1977. A club that featured an array
of major and minor punk acts of the time as well as key
faces on the scene.
This is Punk Rock at the Roxy Club
with struggling bands, bad
drugs and sometimes even badder music. This is home made fashion,
self mutilation, fast sex and random violence. This is
magical nights of being young and having fun against a
backdrop of a subterranean London club, gangsters and Punk.
Featuring candid interviews with bands, club
owners and club goers, and using unseen photos and flyers,
this is the truth behind the Punk Rock legend that was the Roxy
Club. |
