"[Night at the Disco] chronicles the artists, sounds and cultural forces behind a decade of groundbreaking dance music from 1970 to 1979...the book is far more than a glossy retrospective. It's an argument that the dance floor was, and remains, one of the most powerful spaces in American culture."--Sarah Bricker Hunt "Pride Source "
"Disco never dies -- it just waits for the right moment to pull you back onto the dance floor. And...that moment is now... featuring over 100 artists in an unprecedented archive of photographs and exclusive commentary that pulls back the velvet rope on one of music history's most misunderstood decades."-- "Florida Weekly"
"It's an amazing book. It is visual. It tells incredible stories. It covers everybody from First Choice to Thelma Houston. There's even a quote from Valerie Simpson on the back of the book. I think we have to uplift this era of music."--Clay Cane "Clay Cane Extended!"
"Disco is "ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive" as far as Alice Harris and Christian Wikane are concerned. And to help ensure the music lives on, the two East Hamptonites have put together "A Night at the Disco" (ACC Art Books, $50), a handsome coffee-table book coming out March 24 that tells the story of how disco evolved in the 1970s and recaptures the era of bell bottoms, platform shoes, "Saturday Night Fever" and Studio 54. Adding even more sparkle than a disco ball are the dozens of photos of the era's biggest acts."-- "Newsday"
"Disco brought together music, fashion and nightlife in a cultural phenomenon that conquered the world. In A Night at the Disco by Alice Harris and Christian John Wikane, published by ACC Art Books, the stars of the scene are documented in photos spanning the 1970s."-- "The Guardian"
