Robin Hood’s hood

Weirdly, considering it is the headquarters of dad-wear labels like Paul Smith, One True Saxon and Speedo, the city of Nottingham is actually a bit of a fashion town. But Robin Hood’s hood is also home to Rock City, a massive multi-venue rock club. The sort of hair metal fantasies Vice was enjoying back in April become reality at Rock City.

Visiting Rock City is like traveling to a time before irony had escaped its London fashion bubble. A time when men looked like women, and all the women were almost naked, rode airbrushed cobras, and fought squawking American eagles against a landscape of denim. Everything needed studs and anything worth saying was worth inking across your chest and knuckles for the rest of your life – with optional wings, flames, and fair maidens with big jugs .
