Historic Rock n Roll Places: CBGBS






Here is the first installment of places in rock n roll history. The first stop is from CBGB's in New York City from my trip there In Feb of 2005. This can be traced back to one of the starting points of the American punk movement. Music from here such as The Ramones can be then traced to the development of British Punk Rock a little while later. The Ramones got their start here as well as other bands such as disco-rock band Blondie. It is still a daily used club but is now threatened with eviction notices because of a raise in rent. Rumours are flying that it will be rebuilt in Las Vegas or even Tokyo. These are pictures from outside the club and me on the very stage where the Ramones got their start.
