In the spring of the New Millennium, when word first began circulating about the legendary exploits of The New Passion Club, writer and musician Linda Neil was given the task of collating and editing the vast archive material collected from the Club for the purpose of preserving in sound and text, the stories, songs and music that sprang from the performance nights at the now infamous underground venue. The characters and artists who came and went, whose stories and songs are so much a part of the story of the Club itself, are presented here together for the first time, to be enjoyed as an interactive reading and listening experience. 1

The stories, transcribed from the oral narratives of the club's anonymous storyteller, chronicle the inside world of some of the club's most memorable characters, including Emerald Green, The Spaceman, Painter Bob, Lula Bliss, Justine the Magnificent and the Dictionary Man. The songs and music are actual bootleg recordings lifted from the sound desk and remixed by Linda Neil with the help of Indie music legend, Ed Kuepper. - Dotlit
