the punk years: jockey club remembered
A story that I wrote for you all will be published this fall in Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club. The book is about the now-legendary, now-defunct punk nightclub that featured bands like Bauhaus, Black Flag, the Circle Jerks and The Ramones.
The Jockey Club has become somewhat mythological in the years since the bar closed. There were really only a few punk clubs in the U.S. worth going to at the time, and absolutely none in the central states, save Northern Kentucky. The Jockey Club was an excellent venue to watch a band and it was just always a lot of fun.
If you're a Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky reader of the Rose City Journal and you have stories about the Jockey Club, photos or art that you'd like to submit for the book, contact the publisher, Aurore Press.
