ManRay is back! The Central Square club was a hotspot for goth, queer and fetish communities. This month it reopened at a new location after an 18-year hiatus.
Saturday night at ManRay is packed for Heroes, an '80s new wave dance night. The crowd is multigenerational, bopping to Bowie under the glow of purple lights. They’re decked out in mesh shirts, 7-inch platform boots, and no shortage of leather harnesses.
“I love ridiculous outfits,” Publicover says. “So I’m currently wearing a sloth, riding a Tyrannosaurus rex, shooting laser beams out of the eyes, while wearing floral pants.” There are others here who do remember the old club, like security staff Jojo D'Chanel. He surveys the crowd from a corner near the bar, and recalls how he started out as a gogo dancer back in the ‘80s.
“For 23 years, my dad commanded Thursday nights,” says Cheryl Holland, Donald’s daughter. “Everybody went to Campus.” The original club shuttered in 2005 to make way for apartments. Cheryl Holland says her dad tried to retire — but it didn’t really take.
