"Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC" is the first ever documentary about the renowned New York City nightclub Max's Kansas City (1965-1981) which had an indelible impact on the worlds of music, fashion, art, culture and the creation of the city's punk rock scene. As legendary singer and Max's veteran Alice Cooper says, "A million ideas were launched back there". He's referring to Max's Kansas City's famous back room, where Andy Warhol held court and artists, actors, filmmakers, models, writers, assorted criminals and countless musicians - from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground to David Bowie and the New York Dolls - made an indelible mark on music and the world. Max's was also an early safe haven for the city's LGBTQ crowd including Candy Darling, Holly Woodlawn, Jackie Curtis and presided over by transsexual DJ Wayne/Jayne County.
