While CBGB has gone down in history as the epicenter of the New York City punk scene, equally formative was Max’s Kansas City, the legendary nightclub that had an indelible impact on the worlds of music, art, and fashion. At this bohemian nexus, the likes of Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, Patti Smith, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Debbie Harry gathered, performed, and gave birth to the city’s emerging downtown counterculture. As related through the colorful stories of the club’s larger-than-life regulars, NIGHTCLUBBING: THE BIRTH OF PUNK ROCK IN NYC captures the grit and glamour of a now-vanished New York scene that transformed American culture from the underground up.
