The human body was the primary muse of choice at Club FUCK!. Alternative subcultures often overlapped with the LGBT community, and Bhaskar Sarkar for the Media Fields Journal describes the activities of Club FUCK! as such: 'A weekly pageant of non-normative sexualities in the heart of Silverlake’s disease-ravaged neighborhoods, Club FUCK!'s resolute agenda seemed to be: exploring how to have desire in the thick of an epidemic.' Though a variety of non-conformist subcultures gathered at FUCK!, participants of varying sexualities were particularly driven to seek out the 'gritty liminal space' FUCK! provided to vent the unacknowledged frustration brought about by the devastation of the AIDS crisis. On Sunday nights from 1989 to 1993, Basgo's Disco, formerly known as The Black Cat, was the venue of choice for Club FUCK!, a weekly event that welcomed fetish cultures, performance artists, and clubgoers alike.
