The mid-90s saw a significant shift in the social behaviour of NYC after dark. This was, for all intents and purposes, really the last pre-internet, pre-cell phone era. The last time when, if you were meeting a friend at night, you had to plan it out in advance, because “Where are you?” wasn’t yet a textable thing.

    Word of mouth and small, printed flyers left at record shops were how you found out about the next gathering. The clan you mingled with would have conversations about specific sounds found inside of tracks - you’d mimic the sound with your mouth as best you could and your friend’s smile would say, “I know what noise you’re talking about and it makes me feel the same way.”

    You would see artists perform who would never perform again - they were just trying things out, not looking for success. There were areas of the city that were yet to be gentrified, and even an ex-student could move to NYC, grab a low-paying job and get by somehow.

    Awesome small and beautiful photo-zine. 32 pages, staple-bound.

    100% ESSENTIAL!
