Club Fuck!, Alternative nightclub in Silver Lake, Los Angeles County, United States.
Club Fuck! was an alternative nightclub in Los Angeles that operated at rotating venues, including Basgo's Disco and later the Dragonfly Bar in West Hollywood. Its programming mixed experimental music, body art exhibitions, and live performances for a wide range of attendees.
The club was founded in 1989 by Miguel Beristain, Cliff Diller, and James Stone as a platform for experimental arts in Los Angeles. It ran for about four years before a police raid in 1993 brought it to an abrupt end.
The club drew people who found no place in other venues, including performers working with body art and unconventional stage formats. Visitors came not just as an audience but often as active participants in a community that positioned itself deliberately outside the mainstream.
Because the club rotated between locations depending on the night, checking the exact venue in advance was essential before heading out. The programming was geared toward people open to avant-garde and body-centered art forms rather than standard nightlife.
The club was designed so that the human body itself served as the central artistic medium, not just one element among others. Body modification practices and body-centered art forms were at the heart of each evening, not treated as background detail.
