One Foot in the Gutter
Riki Rachtman's One Foot in the Gutter returns January 6 in Charlotte, NC.
Back in 1986, years before he was the infamous host of MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, Riki Rachtman transformed a rundown Los Angeles disco into a one night-a-week dance club that would play nothing but rock music. Why? To have a place he and his friends could hang out, get free drinks and meet strippers. Riki teamed up with Taime Downe, the singer of the rock band Faster Pussycat, little did they know it would become, not only a part of rock history, but a music and fashion culture that defined The Los Angeles rock scene.
