Uplifting video of New Wavers dancing at a club in the 1980s

2021-09-03 00:00:00

The Stratus was a dance club in Spring Valley, California where New Wavers and alternative kids got their eyeliner, hairspray, and boogie on. This fantastic footage is circa 1986-1987 when (ahem) everyday was Halloween. I used to spend every Friday and Saturday night here in the late 1980s but it was called the Metro/Clubhaus and it was located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

One YouTuber commenter kindly shared the titles of the songs in the video:

0:00 Egyptian Lover – You're So Fine 0:08 Blondie – One Way or Another 0:25 Divine – Native Love 1:24 Colourbox – You Keep Me Hangin' On 2:00 Strawberry Switchblade – Jolene 2:58 Vicious Pink – Fetish 3:30 Debbie Deb – When I Hear Music 3:37 Nu Shooz – The Point of No Return 3:43 Expose – The Point of No Return (there seems to be some confusion about this in the comments -These are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONGS. Just similar titles, lol) 4:00 Colourbox – You Keep Me Hangin' On 4:07 Timex Social Club – Rumors 4:15 The Cult – She Sells Sanctuary
