Pretty Lights : Inside Nightclubs : Late Night Urban Life - Behind The Velvet Ropes
Nightclub Life Has A New Voice.
Studio 54. The Hacienda. Ministry of Sound. Nathan Kirk’s amoral memoir of nightclub life under a glittering mirror ball sky. Its Anthony Bourdain where nothing is confidential. A late-night journey where the Beat Generation hit the dance floor. Hunter S Thompson wields his piece, William H Burroughs goes the spike, “Trainspotting” meets "50 Shades of Less than Zero" and Bret Easton Ellis cooly observes the mayhem.
Good times are chaperoned by danger and the ecstasy of hedonism sees good girls meet Bad boys and dirty fantasies come true. Nothing good happens after midnight, but the pleasures are undeniable. Black humour, black lace and urban decay married to a great soundtrack. Disco, Techno, House, Grunge, Indie and alternative rock. Boys & babes sizzling on heat wearing less than little, hot crotches and high hopes. Happy endings in dark nightclub corners. Everyone loves the nightlife and they love to boogie.
‘Pretty Lights’ turns the spotlight on nightclub life; a shadowy world shrouded in mystique. Witness the gratuitous sex, drugs and violence behind the glitz. Nightclubs ain’t pretty and every party has a price.
