Riot On The Dancefloor - imageWest Coast Premiere

Featuring the stark, iconic photography of Thrasher Magazine’s Ken Salerno, dynamic animation, off-the-cuff interviews and archival footage “Riot on the Dance Floor” brings to life the gritty story of one of New Jersey’s most infamous clubs and its’ larger than life promoter Randy Now – postman by day, punk rock booker by night.

City Gardens was a venue for underground music and during its time it traversed the entertainment spectrum; from the comedy of Henny Youngman to Nine Inch Nails, New Order to Nirvana.

“Riot on the Dance Floor” is a journey of musical champions and underdogs and above all, the freedom and liberation of having complete creative control. It is also the story of a music business lifer; a road warrior, part-time musician, who went looking for a place to spin his New Wave records and ended up building an independent movement. Dir Steve Tozzi, 114 Min, USA/2015.
