    The document describes an apartment set used as an outdoor stage for performances in a New York tenement building. The set designer included details like a crashed taxi with wheels still turning to make the space look frozen in time. A bar and DJ booth were also included to add life to the set during the day, while most visitors came in the evenings after band performances. The document also mentions a club policy where all patrons, male and female, must wear a moustache, which was a trend in the 1970s, with proceeds from fake moustaches going to an AIDS charity.

    The broken Taxi


    wall exposes Gallagher’s fa-
    an apartment vourite part of
    set used as an the set, this New
    outdoor stage York cab looks
    so transvestites as though it has
    and bands can crashed into the
    perform for tenement, with
    the queuing its wheels still
    crowds. “We moving. In place
    thought about of a real cab the
    all the charac- designers bought
    ters who would an old Rover and
    live in the tene- used steel curry
    ment and then plates as hub
    designed the caps. It was then
    set with this sprayed yellow
    in mind,” says and vinyl stencils
    Gallagher. were added. “It’s
    an inanimate
    ­object,” says
    ­Gallagher, “but
    it makes the
    place look like
    it’s ­frozen in a
    ­moment in time.”

    Bar 69
    “We have DJs in
    the booth from
    4pm to give the
    field a bit of life
    during the day-
    time,” says Gal-
    lagher. “But most
    people come
    down after the
    bands are over.”
    Porn kiosk
    Everyone – men
    and women –
    entering the
    600-capacity
    club must have
    a moustache:
    you can buy a
    stick-on one for
    a £2 donation,
    which funds an
    Aids charity in
    Zambia. “Back
    in the 1970s all
    gay men and
    women had
    moustaches,
    so we stuck
    with that,” says
    Gallagher.
