FIST opened in February 1994 at the Chunnel club in London’s Vauxhall. Underground and avant-garde, the hardcore fetish club enforced a strict leather/rubber/skin gear dress code. Back in the 90s, fetish was considered underground and taboo! FIST broke boundaries, challenged people’s beliefs about sex, and made clubbing hard, sexy and dirty – never forgetting the infamous playroom. F ist Suzie Krueger presents FIST opened in February 1994 at the Chunnel club in London’s Vauxhall. Underground and avant-garde, the hardcore fetish club enforced a strict leather/rubber/skin gear dress code. Back in the 90s, fetish was considered underground and taboo! FIST broke boundaries, challenged people’s beliefs about sex, and made clubbing hard, sexy and dirty – never forgetting the infamous playroom. FIST was the mother of all fetish clubs that followed. DJ’s regularly cut their teeth at FIST. The club’s hard techno sound track was supplied by the likes of E J Doubell, Jack Chang and Brent Nicholls , and the monthly meet featured live pervy performances from American extreme performance artist Ron Athey, Italian performance artist Franko B and porn star Buck Meadows, to name a few. FIST grew quickly, attracting a worldwide audience, moving to Denmark Place then SubStation South in Brixton and on to Imperial Gardens in Camberwell. Finally, after 9 years, and over 100 parties, the police closed the club down. The final FIST FAREWELL was in December 2002. But Queen of kink, Suzie Krueger returned with Hard On , off spring from the infamous club, opening in September 2003 at Cynthia’s in London Bridge. HARD ON is still London’s sexiest gay fetish club, and one that continues to challenge fetish clubbing into the 21st century. Suzie put the funk into fetish, adding sports gear to her dress code and creating what we now know as ‘Your Dirty Dance Club’. Embracing the new, and keeping the old, has seen Hard On reach its decade of keeping London hard. www.qxmen.com/feature/fist-fact-file/
