Club Kids: From Speakeasies to Boombox and Beyond – Raven Smith (ed), 2008

Club Kids: From Speakeasies to Boombox and Beyond – Raven Smith (ed), 2008

A sparky volume on the club faces who’ve led pop'n'fashion, from ’20s flappers all the way to nu-rave and beyond. A few major lapses though: it’s a crime to give genuine visionary Leigh Bowery less space than some of the cheeky Hoxton peacocks currently recycling his ideas. Still, this is their book and if they want to portray the history of clubbing as merely a lead-up to Boombox, fairy nuff.
