Gay bars newport kentucky

The Jockey Club in Newport Kentucky was really one of the best punk clubs in the entire midwest. It was the foundation of the Cincinnati hardcore scene; and if you ever went there in the 80s, your life was changed forever. You were officially punk. Many of these shows I was lucky enough to attend.

There are some I greatly regret passing on. Many of the people pictured here were or are still my friends, others I just knew by face.

The Downstairs Club: A History of the Segregated Queer Haven in Kenton County

There were so few people into this music in the midwest in the early 80s, you kinda knew everybody. If you saw an unfamiliar punk on the street, or at school, or sitting in the back of a crosstown bus, you were almost compelled to introduce yourself — just to find out gay they were, who their favorite band was, and how the hell they had gone unnoticed thus far.

It was a small scene, but we banded together, and made the most of it. I claim no ownership for any of the photos. If you see something of yours you want taken down, please let kentucky know. Excellent post! I am so happy to find it, you're so creative and each iusrltlation has something special behind, I really can feel it Scream, The Vandals, The Exploited!

Have more if you want : What a ride that was! Really fantastic to find this site. I was only 15 or 16 in 82 and always newport hear about it on a Clem's show "Search and Destroy" on WAIF I think but sadly never got to go there as I was a tad bit too bar and had no way to get there or friends that would go with.

The first group of woodcut details taken from that volume published in by Ulrich von Pottenstein certainly appears to resemble what is known of the wudewasa, the "hairy ones," more popularly known as the "Wildman" or "Wildpeople. I was at that show and I audio recorded The Mentors. Me and my buddy Adam interviewed El Duce outside the club before the show.

Saint Vitus opened the show. I'm one of those kids 2nd from left top photo that's in those DOA shots…you're making my year. Later, I was in Dementia Precox and we played there a million times. Keep up the good work! I played bass for Malignant Growth and it's great seeing all the old flyers and some of the old familiar faces.

Nice collection! The Jockey Club was where I felt most alive. I could drink and slam and hang out with my friends. It was a place where I could forget about the asinine movements of the outside world.
