NRG opened on New Year’s Eve 1985-1986. The building was an old bowling alley turned into a club of epic proportions. The resident DJ, Michael DeGrace, gained legendary status during the summer of 1986 with his amazing ability to “beat mix” non-Top 40 dance music which originated primarily from Europe. Groups such as New Order, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, King, Hohokam, Sparks, Dead or Alive, The Cult, Grace Jones, Erasure, Alphaville and TimeZone were regular staples.
