Felt bad making somebody do a grocery delivery with the temperatures this week, but at least it was only eighty at 8:00 AM. 🥵 Watered plants three times today. Thermometer hit 99. https://www.metrotimes.com/arts/20-years-of-underground-2177498/ > More than just a fad-du-jour for the misanthropic mall-cultured youth of today, City Club is a living, breathing piece of history and a veritable institution. > In 1980, Higgins bought the Leland House hotel (now the Ramada). Legendary Detroit scenester/punk-rock businessman Stirling approached Higgins and pitched the idea of a goth/New Wave/punk club. Hence, the Liedernacht, which means “night song” in German, was born. > One of Stirling’s first tasks was to hire DJs; among them was an unknown from Belleville who garnered a Saturday night residency. > That was Derrick May, now internationally renowned superstar and director of the festival formerly known as the DEMF. > Local artist and collector of all things bizarre Tim Caldwell was hired to project vintage film reels on the dance floor. He fondly recalls his early days at the clu > “The Smiths’ ‘How Soon is Now’ was on heavy rotation,” recalls Caldwell. “You could hear it five times a night there. I’m sure you can still hear it there today.” > Other staples included Dead or Alive, Kraftwerk, Bauhaus, Jesus and Mary Chain, and early Skinny Puppy. > Stirling’s original format was goth on Fridays, May on Saturdays, and a hardcore punk night on Sundays. > Liedernacht was an instant phenomenon. John Waters’ darling drag queen Divine performed live there. > Stirling left the club in 1985 to pursue other projects, and the Liedernacht was rechristened the Leland City Club. Gradually, the format shifted to primarily industrial music, and has continually morphed over the years, dipping into metal, techno and Euro-dance. > The club is a must visit for savvy national acts breezing through town. A partial list of celebrity visitors includes Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, the Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, Public Enemy, Rob Zombie, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Terence Trent D’Arby, and, of course, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. U2 was supposed to show up in ’85, but the line was so long the members turned around and left. https://drawnandquarterly.com/catalogue/ https://drawnandquarterly.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CAT-SPRING-2025.pdf Yoshiharu Tsuge looks interesting.
