A Tribute To The Legendary CBGB’s - Friday January 26th, 2007 @ Rush Lounge
January 18, 2007
What do the Ramones, Blondie, and The Talking Heads all have in common?
Ok, yes, they do have bad hair-do’s…but that’s not quite what we were thinking. Actually, they all jump started their punk fame by rocking wall-to-wall crowds within the bowels of the New York City club, CBGB’s.
CBGB’s (standing for “country, blue grass, and blues”) was founded early 1973, and is widely known for being one of the noisiest, yet fun, music establishments the good ole’ U. S. of A. has ever seen.
Unfortunately, as typically plagues nightclubs, a dispute between the owners and landlords shut the place down after 33 years of open doors in October of last year.
Well, even us dance music heads and bar gurus everywhere think that this is an absolute travesty! So, to give some props to the folks that allowed studded jewelry and colored hair to be en vogue Rush Lounge is sponsoring a one-night special tribute to CBGB’s by blasting over 100 of the most popular Punk Rock songs of all times.
So go ahead and take a minute to search through your closet or basement to find all of those clothes you were wearing in your “rebellious” days, or, you can just take some clothes from Ashlee Simpson. Either way, we want to pay our deep respects to one of the longest running clubs on the entire planet.
