Michael Alig (Rewind): If a Club Kid Kills, Stuffs the Body in a Box and Tells The World About It Will Anyone Listen?

In March 1996, promoter Michael Alig, the "King of the Club Kids," after appearing on TV’s Geraldo and on the cover of New York magazine, bashed his friend and DJ Angel Melendez in the head with a hammer. The body was then dismembered and stuffed into a duct-taped cardboard box. Alig proceeded to tell anyone who would listen—including his friends from the raging '90s NYC club scene—what he had done. The problem was, Alig’s well-known, over the top, and depraved behavior was such that no one believed him. “Has anyone seen Angel?” “He’s dead. I cut him up and put him in that box over in the corner.” To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at www.disgracelandpod.com https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/c83125d2-8508-11ed-bd28-ff0aff7ee233/podcasts/efca2ef8-85f9-11ed-8fe3-bb208936046f/episodes/29bc673e-85fa-11ed-9d9c-cffe44583488/www.disgracelandpod.com.

  Hey, guys. Thanks for checking out this rewind episode of DisgraceLand. This one goes back to season one, our story on the 90s club kid scene, in particular, on Michael Alegg. Michael has since passed away. He made it out of prison for the antics and the crimes that you're going to hear in this episode. And when he did make it out, he called me, got in touch with me. We had a nice conversation. I have a recording of it somewhere. Maybe someday we'll get around to rerunning it here. But anyways, this is one of the most incredible, I don't even know the words to describe this, just debaucherous, debauchery doesn't do this, that's not

• 2:51Jake Brennan?

  the right word, depraved, I think, psychotic, crazy story, crazy, crazy, crazy story on Michael Alegg. Michael's a very tragic character, and he created a lot of pain. But I feel like Michael's one of those guys who the drugs just ate him up. They completely ate him up, scrambled his brains, and the results were, like I said, absolutely tragic. Here is the Michael Alegg story in DisgraceLand.

• 3:35Jake Brennan?

  New York City club kids in the 90s lived shockingly decadent lifestyles. Their sense of spectacle went beyond their open drug use in flamboyant fashion. In public, they drank each other's urine, had sex with amputated limbs, obliterated gender norms, and packed large-capacity Manhattan dance clubs. Fueled by an endless stream of hard drugs and a new form of electronic music that was loud and abrasive, club kids were propelled by aggressive beats, the perfect soundtrack for this new post-punk, post-disco, clubland decadence. It was great music.

• 4:17Jake Brennan?

  King of the club kids, Michael Alegg, didn't make great music. In fact, he didn't make any music at all. He made nobodies into somebodies. He was a club promoter, as much a Pied Piper as other rock stars you can think of. Michael Alegg packed clubs, put an entire scene on his back, and wound up on the cover of magazines and splattered across television screens. He made headlines. He made people happy. He made people dance. He made people famous. And he made one person turn up dead in a box on Staten Island. But he didn't make great music. That music at the top of the show, that wasn't great music either.

• 4:58Jake Brennan?

  That was a preset loop from my Mellotron called Samba Electric Organ MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to Vision of Love by Mariah Carey. And why would I play you that Kind of Forgettable Cheese by Miss Mariah? Could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on August 15, 1990. And that was the day that Michael Alegg launched Disco 2000, kicking off the club kid movement and setting into motion a series of decadent events that would bring about what would come to be known as Disco Bloodbath. On this episode, Samba Electric Organs, Smoking Hot Forgettable Cheese, Disco

• 5:41Jake Brennan?

  Bloodbath, Club Kid Decadence, and Michael Alegg. I'm Jake Brennan, and this is DisgraceLand.

• 5:59Jake Brennan?

  Bone-colored business cards, Oliver Peoples glasses, bespoke Valentino suits, a table at Dorsia. Without these in 80s Manhattan, you're a nobody. At least you're a nobody from the perspective of Bret Easton Ellis's brilliantly satirical Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. That table at Dorsia, it's hard to come by. Harder than the money it takes to afford bespoke suits and trendy eyewear. You have to know someone. And you're from east wherever the fuck, so you don't know anyone. So you head downtown to find your place.

• 6:39Jake Brennan?

  But lower Manhattan hotspots like the Odeon or Cafeteria are off limits because the running of the Wall Street bowls is in full effect. In the masters of the universe are rubbing Coke straws with Jean-Michel Basquet and SNL cast members in the bathroom. And you're either too young, too broke, too openly gay, too unsexy, or too much of all of the above to fit in. And so you head over to the Bowery to try your luck with the punks and the hardcore kids. But you'd rather eat Gigi Allen's shit than sit through some post-punk mediocrity with the offensively asexual crowd at CBGB's. Max's Kansas City is dead. The Mud Club is closed.

• 7:22Jake Brennan?

  Elaine's is where your mom would hang out if she could afford a bus ticket and shoes that didn't look like Tom McCann stolen out of the discount section from Caldo's. You're alone in New York City. You know nobody. You are a nobody. And what do you do? Reinvent yourself into something outrageous and more decadent than Patrick Bateman, Jean-Michel Basquet, and even crazier than Gigi Allen. It worked for Michael Alegg. In 1984, 18-year-old Michael Alegg was alone in New York City, fresh off the bus from South Bend, Indiana. He quickly found his place at Danceateria.

• 8:12Jake Brennan?

  Danceateria was the spot for Alegg to reinvent himself. It was the epicenter of New York cool. The Beastie Boys worked as busboys. LL Cool J was an elevator attendant. So was actress Debbie Mazur. Shadé attended bar and had her first performance ever there. But no performer is more associated with Danceateria than Madonna. Danceateria is where she honed her craft, where she became Madonna, and it's where Michael Alegg became Michael Alegg. As a busboy himself, he witnessed the exact kind of magic needed to attract young, horny, impossibly cool Manhattanites to a club on a nightly basis.

• 9:01Jake Brennan?

  The only problem, Alegg had no talent. He couldn't play guitar, or write, or act. It didn't matter. The creativity and free expression at Danceateria taught him that you didn't need to be a performer to draw people. All you needed was a hook. What does the pre-feminism Mad Men character Bobby Barrett say to Don Draper? This is America. Pick a job and then become the person who does it. And that's what Michael Alegg did. He picked the job of promoter because you didn't need to know how to sing, or dance, or any of that. All you needed was a friend who could DJ, a club looking to sell drinks on an off night, a little creativity, and decadence. Lots and lots of decadence.

• 10:42Jake Brennan?

  In 1988, Michael Alig was hired by New York City nightclub owner Peter Gation to work as a party promoter at his club, The Limelight. Alig's parties were the most outrageous, the most decadent, and quickly became wildly successful. In part, because Alig created what became known as the club kid. It's impossible to describe the look of a club kid. Remember that rave you went to in college? The one where you were certain you were getting dosed by the sketchy dude wearing lipstick frosted tips, an astrological sign choker, and leopard print creepers? Okay, a club kid is who that guy was trying to look like.

• 11:26Jake Brennan?

  A club kid is an even more outrageous version of sketchy roofied dude from college. But throw in a mix of drag queen, Japanese anime, heroin chic, B-grade horror, and a dress stolen from your little sister's American Girl doll collection, and you're getting closer to the club kid look. Club kids took hard drugs, designer drugs, and took on flamboyant ludicrous personas. Michael Alig's friend and fellow club kid, James St. James, was a self-proclaimed celebieton. Meaning he was famous for well-being famous. This was the early 90s, way before internet ubiquity, social media, and

• 12:08Jake Brennan?

  just at the cusp of 24/7 news and infotainment. To be famous for no good reason, and in the absence of talent, you needed to be over the damn top. St. James described the club kid vibe as part drag, part clown, part infantilism. In addition to St. James, Alig's club kids included among others superstar DJ Kiyoki, who sometimes clad in nothing more than glitter and a diaper, would provide the soundtrack for Alig's parties. The stunning Jenny Talia, who was prone to big pink dresses, big black

• 12:48Jake Brennan?

  boots, and big blonde wigs worn over a shaved head, which, when revealed, made her even more attractive. And a little-known at the time drag queen, who went by the name RuPaul, whose stint as a club kid came before his supermodel of the world Glamazon status. And Amanda Lepore, who like other club kids, not only bended gender lines, but completely scrambled them with her undeniable and over-the-top sexuality. In the late 80s and into the early 90s, these, and an army of other club kids, owned the New York City nightclub scene.

• 13:28Jake Brennan?

  It was a scene defined by over-the-top, public displays of sex, overindulgence of hard narcotics and designer drugs, and an overthrow of the highly codified stale rock and roll by a new form of electronic music that was loud, abrasive, and propelled by relentlessly aggressive beats that kept the party going well into the morning. At Limelight, and at other Peter Gation-owned clubs, Michael Alig was the straw that stirred the rufinal drink. His Wednesday night party, Disco 2000, featured over-the-top acts to draw further attention with characters like Floyd the Human Money Tree, who would

• 14:11Jake Brennan?

  strip naked, pin $100 bills to himself, and run through the crowd into a grabby free-for-all. Or Ernie the Pee Drinker, who, you guessed it, would openly piss in a glass in front of the crowd and gleefully slurp it all down. Alig himself would frequently piss on his crowd from the balcony at Limelight and pass out cups of his own urine to unsuspecting clubgoers. No behavior was too shocking. It was all done in the name of hedonism and decadence, and it worked. The word was out on the club kids. Michael Musto from The Village Voice noted that Alig's hedonistic minions had filled a void in New York City nightlife left behind by Andy Warhol's

• 14:56Jake Brennan?

  death. New York Magazine put Alig on its cover. Geraldo and Joan Rivers had them on their television shows. The Limelight and Gation's bigger club Tunnel remained packed. As the notoriety of the club kids grew, so did Alig's appetite for the outrageous. He staged elaborate outlaw parties in public places. Manhattan Burger Kings and subway cars were suddenly, out of nowhere, overrun by club kids and drag queens for instantaneous dance parties. And Alig began producing other events beyond Disco 2000. There was unnatural acts, where one night, Woody the Dancing Amputee lost

• 15:40Jake Brennan?

  his prosthetic while performing a dance, only to be joined onstage by a female clubgoer who had sex with both his prosthetic and his stump. The depravity and decadence was way out in the open. Anything went. Overt sexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, pansexuality, any sexuality. And the drug use kicked up a notch. Special K was everywhere. Club kids boasted of snorting 6-inch lines off of 8-inch dicks. Punch bowls were laced with acid. Balloons filled with ecstasy descended from the ceilings and onto the dance floor.

• 16:21Jake Brennan?

  And Alig promoted another night called Blood Feast, with a flyer depicting him dead on the floor, dismembered and covered in blood. Club kids would show up, dressed in homage to their favorite serial killers. And in a sign of the horrific reality to come, Alig would arrive in a wheelchair covered in someone else's blood.

• 17:23Jake Brennan?

  Because of Michael Alig, The Limelight was making Studio 54 seem like a cute suburban key party your parents might have attended back in the 70s. This, during a time when Rudy Giuliani, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and then Mayor of New York City, was doing everything in his considerable power to restore social norms and law and order back to Gotham City. And in Gotham City, Michael Alig, king of the club kids, the pajama boy come pied piper, could give two fucks about Rudy Giuliani. In Alig's myopic, drug-addled view of the world, he was a prince. He had the power.

• 18:08Jake Brennan?

  After all, he determined who got past the velvet rope, who sat next to him on Geraldo, who got mentioned to The Village Voice, and who he graced with his presence. The decadence and all the drugs created an alternative reality for Alig. One where he was immune to any surrounding pressure or sense of right and wrong. He didn't know from Rudy Giuliani. Alig had no sense of right or wrong, or decency. It was all about the party, and the shock, and the headlines. He didn't understand or care about the pressure his boss and benefactor Peter Gation faced to clean up his act at Limelight, or else be closed.

• 18:53Jake Brennan?

  All Alig understood at this point was getting high. When pressed by Gation to get clean or else be fired, Alig tried striking a compromise, where he promised to only smoke crack while taking heroin. Or was it he'd only take heroin while smoking crack? It didn't matter. It all came crashing down. Giuliani turned the screw and Gation was forced to close Limelight. Alig flamed out of rehab and descended into a drug stupor that would have made Courtney Love jealous. Cocaine, Special K, heroin, and crystal meth were all swimming through Alig's system while he holed up in his luxury West Side apartment, paid for by Peter

• 19:37Jake Brennan?

  Gation with fellow club kid Robert Free's Riggs. And the two were nearly out of drugs. This was a problem. So was the fact that Alig owed his drug dealer, Angel Melendez, money. Maybe this was why friends of theirs recounted that Alig was running around town casually mentioning that he wanted to kill Angel. Angel Melendez wore wings, literally. That was his club kid shtick. He also dealt heroin. He'd hung out with the punks at CBGB's before finding his way to the rough trade over at the piers on the West Side. A pier queen and street smart, Angel was by all accounts a sweet kid who was

• 20:19Jake Brennan?

  saving his drug profits to break into the movie business and break away from the madness of clubland. Problem was, collecting drug debts was a real headache, and Michael Alig's debt was becoming a real problem. It wasn't just that he owed Angel thousands of dollars. It was that he was being a real prick about it, disparaging him in public, not letting him into the parties he was hosting. And then, the little bastard found out where Angel was stashing his drug cash and managed to steal 18 grand, only to go and blow it all on furniture. Furniture! Alig and Freez were renovating their apartment. Angel was pissed, and rightly so.

• 21:02Jake Brennan?

  Angel Melendez showed up at the Riverbank West Luxury Apartment Complex, where Michael Alegg was holed up with Robert Fries Riggs on March 17, 1996, demanding his money back. Michael mocked him and insisted on more heroin. Fries told Angel that he and Alegg only let him hang around because he had drugs. This enraged Angel. A struggle ensued. Angel bit Michael and threw him into a china cabinet. A huge shard of glass from the cabinet pierced his back. Blood spewed everywhere. Fries then grabbed a nearby hammer and swung hard at Angel, coming down on his head three times. More blood. Angel fell to the ground. Michael pounced.

• 21:47Jake Brennan?

  He wrapped his hand in a sweatshirt and began pummeling Angel in the face. Then he strangled him. At that point, one of them grabbed the Drano. They held Angel down and poured it into his throat. To be sure that he swallowed it, they duct taped his mouth shut.

• 22:09Jake Brennan?

  Exhausted, Michael and Fries flopped on the couch, while Angel lay on the floor choking to death. The official cause of death was asphyxiation. After a brief rest, Michael and Fries dragged Angel's body to the bathroom tub. In an effort to mask the coming smell of Angel's dead body, they covered him in ice, baking soda, and more Drano. Then they get down to the business of getting high as fuck. Turns out, when you kill your drug-dealing friend, you inherit a stash. And what a stash it was. For eight days, Michael and Fries sat around the apartment, doing nothing but heroin, while Angel's body sat in the tub, rotting.

• 22:53Jake Brennan?

  The stench became unbearable. Something had to be done, so it was decided that Fries would head down to Macy's to buy some butcher's knives. When he returned, he and Michael did more heroin to blunt the reality of what they were about to do next. Stumbling into the bathroom, through the haze of rotting flesh and swarming flies, Michael Alegg, king of the club kids, got down on his knees and wielding his Macy's butcher knife, began sawing the limbs off of his friend, Angel Melendez. He started with the legs, removing them from the tub and placing them into a duffel bag. They placed them, along with the torso,

• 23:35Jake Brennan?

  into an empty television box and secured it shut with their trusty duct tape. The box was then placed in the living room, where briefly doubled as a coffee table. To mask the smell, man, that smell, they sprayed Calvin Klein "Eternity" everywhere. The irony, eternity, to mask the stench of death. Needless to say, the flies remained. But the flies couldn't stop the drug binge. There was too much heroin to do. Friends came by and remarked on the smell. Alegg blamed it on faulty sewage in the building. And when friends inquired to Angel's whereabouts, Alegg would casually mention that he killed him,

• 24:19Jake Brennan?

  chopped him up, and stuffed him in a box. "Look, that box right over there is a matter of fact." No one believed him. So Michael Alegg did what he did best. He kept the party going.

• 24:48Jake Brennan?

  According to multiple sources, in the days and weeks following Angel Melendez's death, Michael Alegg was telling anyone who would listen that he had killed him. But nobody thought it was true. This was, after all, the guy who promoted a club night called Blood Feast, where people were literally drinking their own urine onstage, showing up dressed as serial killers or in costumes with bloody, dismembered limbs. So when Michael started telling fellow club kids the grisly details of the crime he'd just committed to one of their friends, people thought it was all a put-on. But Village Voice nightlife columnist Michael Musto thought otherwise. He knew where Michael Alegg lived,

• 25:32Jake Brennan?

  on the corner of narcissism and drugged-out madness, right between unhinged reality and the gaping hole of insecurity. And so Musto published a blind item in The Village Voice on April 23, 1996, called "Nightclubbing." In it, he addressed the swirl of scandal surrounding Alegg and Fries's rumored crime against Angel Melendez. Page six then picked it up. The Voice followed up a couple months later with their own cover story. At this point, Alegg started to realize the gravity of this situation and began denying his earlier claims, telling people that it was all a ruse, a prank. But the heat intensified.

• 26:16Jake Brennan?

  So Alegg took the money he'd made from selling the furniture he'd bought with the money he'd stolen from Angel and hit the road. NYPD detectives were on him in no time. They found him holed up in a sleazy New Jersey hotel. And so Michael Alegg and Robert Fries Riggs played nice with authorities and pleaded guilty to manslaughter. They were sentenced to 10 to 20 years. Alegg served 16 of them. Released in 2014, Michael Alegg is, well, Michael Alegg. He's up on YouTube with a show called PU, where he and fellow club kid Ernie Glam super-served nostalgic Clubland fans with decadent tales from the 90s. And where they promote Alegg's recent ventures,

• 27:01Jake Brennan?

  like his new club night at Manhattan's mega club, Space Ibiza. And where they dispute rumors about Alegg, like his supposed purposeful spreading of HIV, as claimed by Lucian Wintridge. And where they set the record straight about Alegg's recent drug bust, the one where he was busted in a Bronx park at 2:00 in the morning with Special K, valiantly on his way to return the drugs to a drug dealer from a friend supposedly trying to get clean. What a guy. Rehabilitated? Worthy of parole? After mercilessly dismembering the body of his friend? You be the judge. One thing I know to be true

• 27:44Jake Brennan?

  is that Michael Alegg is definitely still Michael Alegg, even post-prison. Watching the YouTube videos, it's easy to catch a glimpse of the 20-something provocateur in Alegg's more world-weary eyes as he attempts to make use of modern technology to shock and engage an audience, and most of all, remain relevant. The smart ass is still there. Sure, it's without the assless chaps, but if Alegg feels any real remorse, the YouTube videos make it hard to build a case that prison had any real rehabilitative effect on his character. I wonder how members of Angel Melendez's family feel about all of this.

• 28:26Jake Brennan?

  When that late-night, unprocessed grief knocks and they head to social media to catch a glimpse of their loved one? Maybe they punch Angel Melendez, club kid, into the YouTube search box and head down the rabbit hole. There's Angel on Geraldo. Big red angel wings, big eyes, big boots, Brando biker hat. And there's Angel with RuPaul at a Burger King outlaw party. You click on the Joan Rivers link, but no Angel, because search algorithms are insensitive beasts. They know so much about us, but how can they possibly know about our grief? They can't. Which is why, below the Joan Rivers clip,

• 29:10Jake Brennan?

  there's a clip from Macaulay Culkin's feature film on Angel's death, "Party Monster." And below that are a couple of shockingly graphic documentaries that you'd rather not watch again. And finally, at the bottom of the search, more general club kid videos start to pop up. And there's 2017 Michael Alegg, three years out of jail and looking barely worse for wear. He's got a fresh new haircut, a trendy t-shirt that is a size too small, and is drinking what must be an $8 coffee from some hot shit gentrifying barista. He's regaling us with fabulous details from his latest trip to West wherever the fuck

• 29:52Jake Brennan?

  and imploring us to come party with him at his new dance night in Manhattan, where you and thousands of his closest friends can live out impossible-to-imagine decadent fantasies in real life. You can do that. You can. Michael Alegg gets to do that. Angel Melendez does not get to do that. He's dead. He's no longer stuffed in a duct taped TV box. His remains have been interred somewhere more respectable. Close by, though. Right over there is a matter of fact. And Michael Alegg? He's still doing what he does best. Keeping the party going.
