it was a wild scene, with tightly packed bodies dancing feverishly

While the Hideout was limited to one stage, the cavern-styled Crow's Nest had two and was able to keep the live music going non-stop. There were also two rooms at the Crow's Nest, one for dancing, and one for eating and hanging out. To the south in Monroe, kids lined up to get into a place called the Club. In Clarkston, kids flocked to the Platter Box. Each of these dance clubs varied in size and clientele, some, like the Hideout, appealing to the white Levis and madras shirt crowd, while others drew the "greasers", who favored pegged pants and Spanish boots with Cuban heels. All the clubs featured undersized dance floors and very loud bands. Soon bands were forming in basements and garages all over the Motor City. The Human Equations, the Ruins, the Warlocks, the Henchmen, the Wha?, the Gang, the Fallen Angels, the Opposing Forces, the Yorkshires, and the Rainy Days were just a few.
