a virtual tour through a Philadelphia Legend. This the Black Banana of 1989 till the time of the fire. hope you enjoy. it was created using swift3d, flash, photoshop, and final cut.
Now wait, it was Garreck who let us play on dead nights! It was Xavier who stopped us playing after I skipped a Grace Jones record being played specially for Barishnikov, who was having dinner downstairs. The look of horror!!
What a delight! God I loved this place. I spent most of my time there in the late 70's to mid-80's, before they expanded next door. It was the most fun in the early 80's with the New Wave going on. It always felt like everyone was in costume.
Me & my buddy even DJ'd there on Monday nights (Xavier let us play on dead nights) around 1980. I loved to play with the neon BB sign.
Boy does this bring back memories! I grew up at the Black Banana and I remember Kirk (even though I'm sure he has no memory of me!). I spent most of my best late nights there from about 1982 till 1993 when I finally left Philly for good. All I can say is, to Natasha for finally creating the site: Brava, Baby!! Even if you don't know who I am, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for both you and Coco!! You always treated me soooo nice!!!
I EVEN WORKED THERE AS A DANCER ON THE SPEAKERS AND A COCTAIL WAITRESS
