City Club Detroit Michigan
1980(?)- still going.  Walking up the grand stairs of the old Leland House hotel that led you to the ball room which was the City Club.  It was the best place to be. Dark Walls painted black and the sounds of Skinny Puppy and Sisters of Mercy blaring out at you. No radio sponsored night no endorsements just a really cool place to meet anyone into the punk scene at that time.

Club X Santa Clara
83 to 86. An underground club held at rollerskate rinks in Santa Clara county. It was put on by a local club promoter who would change locations when necessary. The last place it was held was Aloha Skate rink in San Jose. The club promoter eventually took the name to San Francisco where it evolved into "The X" on 3rd and Harrison.

The Comet Hartford, CT
1984-?. At first glance, it looked like some teen angst kid asking "Mom? Dad? Can I have a party in the basement?!" The Club was in the basement of re-habbed stainless steel 50s-esque diner, aka the Comet. No Air-conditioning. Strong Drinks. Booths and fishtanks (complete with nuclear reactor motifs) were removed to increase capacity of this tiny club. Music ranged from pop-"Like a Virgin" to self-conscious "How Soon is Now." New Order "the Beach/Blue Monday" -always. Big with the PIB crowd (people in black) art students, closet cases, a goth or two, the very curious collegiate crowd for a few years before RIOT started. The 80s ended and so did the Comet.

late 80's - early 90's. The best Classic Soul & R&B club in NYC at its time. Started in Brother's BBQ (the older one) in lower Manhattan, it was one of the smallest spots to have such a huge crowd. Colt 45 forty's and free chicken wings helped fuel the kickenest parties on Monday nights!!!!
