# Club Robert Johnson asks you to come into their kitchen with new book
It was a couple of years back when I was travelling to Offenbach am Main
with some friends and [colleagues][1]{: target="_blank"}; **Matthew
Herbert** was set to record club **Robert Johnson** that night, as the
second part of his then newly established ['One' conceptual album
series][2]{: target="_blank"}. Herbert had prepared his favourite club
(including the toilets) with microphones, invited the audience, and
asked them for field recordings during the night. And what a wild night
it was! I will never forget that night (although this was partially
alcohol-related)!
Founded in 1999, club Robert Johnson has witnessed countless nights like
this. The small venue in Offenbach (close to, but not in Frankfurt am
Main) follows a simple, clean, and familial attitude during its long
nights of hedonism. After 13 years of existence **Ata Macias**, the RJ
staff and friends look back on their past with the new photos and
interviews book ***Come On In My Kitchen***.
With contributions (amongst others) from **Bill Brewster**, **Roman
Flügel**, **DJ Harvey**, **Gerd Janson**, **Stephan Loichinger**, **Theo
Parrish**, **Ewan Pearson**, **Ivan Smagghe**, **Christoph Keller**, and
**Ata** himself, *Come On In My Kitchen* reflects the varied history of
Robert Johnson with party photos, old flyers, and texts.
Filling 380 coloured pages, *Come On In My Kitchen* reflects RJs mission
statement, combining art, design, fashion, and culture together with
music. Preview the book in the [current issue][3]{: target="_blank"} of
Groove magazine, [get it now at JRP Ringier][4]{: target="_blank"} /
Christoph Keller Editions, and [RJ itself][5]{: target="_blank"}. Also,
catch up with their current anniversary club tour through Germany, 'Live
at Robert Johnson' -- see all dates below.
