......CBGB's is one of the most recognisable live band venues in the world. Blondie, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Talking Heads, the Ramones, Screaming 'Jay' Hawkins...even our own You Am I have played here. This is where many bands got a start. The beauty of this place was that, as Dee Dee Ramone said.."you could come to CB's and play whatever the f*ck you wanted". Unfortunately, money hungry landlords have put a very dark cloud over the future of this amazing venue. Let's hope it gets a permanent reprieve. If not, it would be a sad death. We visited on Jan 6th.
