Lucifer's/Kenmore Club (Narcissus, Celebration, Lipstick) - Boston (Kenmore Square)
Undoubtedly the best nightclub in the city during the mid-80s to early 90s. Gary Cannavo, Vinnie Brand & Matty Olsen were the DJs working here at the time. I was a regular at the club and already knew Gary (from Dance Music Plus), but never really got a chance to meet the other DJs (except for exchanging nods here and there). I thought for years what it would be like to be a DJ at this club, but never pursued the idea until one day.
In 1990, on a packed night upstairs in the "Narcissus" room, I brought in a "mix tape" of some dance and freestyle music I had put together earlier that day. I walked up to Vinnie (who was spinning) and gave him the tape. I asked him to listen to it, and if he liked it and ever needed me to spin here, to let me know. About a week later, I get a phone call from him asking me if I want to start working there.
Lo and behold, I am now part of this elite crew!
At first, I was given a Wednesday night to spin on. I was also sent down to the Mill Hill Club in West Yarmouth (same owners as the Kenmore Club) to do a few nights here and there. It wasn't quite what I expected at first, but I figured I was the "new guy" so I kept my mouth shut and did what I had to do.
It finally paid off. Working the off-nights and driving down to West Yarmouth finally came to end. I was now doing Friday and Saturday nights in the "Celebration" and/or "Lipstick" rooms. Eventually, I was working four nights a week (Thursday through Sunday) playing dance & freestyle music downstairs in "Celebration". The Sunday night I spun was "Asian night". Sometimes I would fill in upstairs in "Narcissus", but my happy home was in "Celebration".
The Kenmore Club also had a heavy metal and Latin night as well. In 1992, my run with this great club had come to an end. After it closed down sometime around 1994, it became a Gap clothing store and currently it's a Bertucci's restaurant.Mallside - Chelsea (Mystic Mall - Everett Ave)
