The story of Randy Now and City Gardens, Riot on the Dance Floor is a documentary from director
Steve Tozzi that features the stark and iconic photography of Thrasher Magazine’s Ken Salerno. It is told
through an oral history format of in-depth interviews and archival footage, bringing to life the gritty story
of one of New Jersey’s most infamous clubs and its larger than life promoter. City Gardens was a venue
for underground music and during its time it traversed the entertainment spectrum; from the comedy of
Henny Youngman to Nine Inch Nails, New Order to Nirvana. Riot on the Dance Floor is a journey of musical
champions and underdogs and above all, the freedom and liberation of having complete creative control. NXNE
Director Steve Tozzi will be in attendance for a Q&A.
