BLITZ CLUB

The Blitz Kids were a group of unknown people that frequented the Blitz nightclub in the early 1980s. Among their number were Steve Strange, Leigh Bowery, Boy George,  Marilyn, Princess Julia, Philip Sallon, Carl Teper and Martin Degville. The Blitz Kids had found themselves bored with the whole punk genre and, in an effort to find something new, took to wearing bizarre home-made costumes and clothing and excessive amounts of make-up. They were often extremely androgynous in nature. Steve Strange and Boy George later became famous in their own right with their musical outings Visage and Culture Club respectively. Boy George celebrated the Blitz Kids scene in his recent musical Taboo, in which he played the part of Leigh Bowery. BLITZ CLUB MENU
