THE FUNHOUSE

FunHouse in 526 West 26th Street, Manhattan, New York is a legendary club to clubbers and DJ's all over the world. Mostly because of the fact one of the worlds most legendary DJ's was the resident DJ of the club for three years, namely John "Jellybean" Benitez.

The club opened up on March 30, 1979 and invited guests only were allowed to enter. On the opening night the legendary DJ and Remixer - Jim Burgess - along with Bobby "DJ" Guttadaro, kept the dancefloor moving. Jonathan Fearing took over the DJ booth as the first resident DJ of the club. Jonathan played the crowd a mix of classic Disco tunes together with a little harder dance tracks. He also had a work at the hip radio station WKTU, this took more and more of his time and he had to give up his DJ'ing at the Fun House and he was replaced by... Jellybean.

As mentioned above, Arthur Baker used to test new stuff at the FunHouse crowd. And in the New Order video for "Confusion" you will actually see Arthur working in the studio and then bringing the tape to Jellybean at the FunHouse to see the dancers reaction on the floor. You get to see quite many interior shots from the club, along with the dancers, the FunHouse clown logo in neon and so much more... There's also this parallel story in the video about this girl working in a Pizza restaurant, she can't wait to get out of there to get home and get dressed for a night at the FunHouse. She could well have been one of the Juice Crew ladies. Maybe the video was inspired by the original article or the other way around - but check out the video at NewOrderOnline.com.

There are many people who loved and still love this legendary club... With it's famous happy clown logo. Numerous of people have it as a precious part of their life and many have great stories to tell about the club and the people fequenting it. Some memories you'll find below and I guess there's more to come...

Thanks so much for all the info on that.And i know what you mean when you mention the girl in the Video.

The only girl in the video worth mentioning is Gillian in her short shorts. Too bad Arthur Baker had to be in the video, too. "He's no dancing girl."
