On August 18, 1987, Dallas’ legendary Starck Club hosted none other than Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, captured in the grainy video below for No Reality TV. Of course, when Throbbing Gristle broke up in 1981, members Carter and Tutti signed with Rough Trade Records and began recording as Chris & Cosey. The sound and image quality aren’t the best, but a live performance by this duo in Texas in the 80s was a special event indeed, and any surviving footage of the show is pretty special. The hosting venue, the Starck Club, lasted from 1984 until 1989, and a documentary exists about the place now. (You can read about the club at D Magazine here.)
