The Fun House was a club in New York City during the years of 79-85, What happened? It did phenomenally. The club became not just a place, but almost a lifestyle for some. It originally opened in 1978 as a gay club,but when it didnt go over as well as hoped it was converted to a Disco.
The club featured DJs Jim Burgess with Bobby Guttadaro, Ted Currier, Jonathan Fearing, John "JellyBean" Benitez, Tony Smith, Randy "The Ghost Murray", and Scott "DJ Juice" .
For years the Fun House was regarded as one of the top night spots in NY along side Studio 54, Paradise Garage, The Loft, till the day they closed their doors. It had as we called it a sound system that you could feel. The Garage the only club with a comparable system had a system that people say you could see the sound.
However unlike any other club it create a following. So when anyone who knows, someone says Fun House, people who know will look up and say, huh? The Fun House. I used to go there all the time. I practically lived there.
Arthur Baker filmed his Confusion video there for New Order.
