RAY MANZAREK’S NITE CITY
The dark side of L.A.
September 1, 1977
Theres no way to write a story about Ray Manzarek and his new. band, Nite City, without conjuring up the ghost of Jim Morrison, the Doors’ late and lamented Lizard King. Morrison’s spirit haunts Nite City just as surely as it lurks in the midnight alleys and slick, seamy streets of Los Angeles, a city Morrison seduced with the boldness of a young Romeo and spurned with the frenzy of an aging gigolo.
Nite City represents a restatement of the Doors’ demonic spirit, but with the pragmatism and cool elegance of the 70s.
