THE BLITZ will relaunch at The Tabernacle in Shoreditch on 25th Sept 2008

Hosted by Stuart Trevor (designer at Bolongaro Trevor and the founder and former designer for All Saints Retail Ltd) having joined forces with Rusty Egan, renowned musician and DJ pioneer to re-launch the ‘Blitz’ club which Egan famously DJ’d at , introducing London’s clubland to German Electronica and disco.

The original BLITZ club in Great Queen St. Covent Garden had been a World War II themed wine bar before Rusty Egan and Steve Strange moved their Bowie themed night from Soho, creating a whole new scene that would become the hub of hip London. Steve would work the door, Rusty manned the decks and Boy George ran the cloakroom – the dancefloor was awash with beer, blusher and bouffants. The night quickly became legendary with various art students, aspiring musicians and designers regularly queuing around the block to get in and they were soon named the ‘New Romantics’ that danced and posed themselves into the fashion history books.
