X Ray SpexThe Roxy was a fashionable nightclub on Neal Street in London's Covent Garden, known for hosting the flowering British punk music scene in its infancy. It was started by promoter Andy Czezowski. The main entrance was on street level where you would walk into a small bar and seated area. Downstairs there was a small stage, bar and dance floor. The intimacy of the club had a feel to it similar to The Cavern Club in Liverpool where The Beatles had performed early on in their career. The Clash headlined the gala opening on January 1, 1977. Other bands that appeared there included Generation X, Sham 69, X-Ray Spex, London, The Adverts, Chelsea, Cherry Vanilla (with The Police as her backing band), Wire, The Boys, The Damned, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Buzzcocks, The Plague and the Stinky Toys. Don Letts was the resident DJ at the club. In 1977 EMI released an album Live at the Roxy featuring some of the regular acts who performed there that made the top 20 in the UK. A further live album was released in May 1978 of lesser known acts such as the UK Subs, Open Sore, Crabs and the Bears. Although back in the punk rock heyday of 1977 it was an important landmark London music venue, today it is just another Covent Garden shop selling swimwear. TriviaThe anarcho-punk band Crass featured the Roxy as the subject of one of their most well known tracks, Banned from the Roxy.
