CBGB

CBGB (skraćenica za engl. Country, BlueGrass, and Blues) je bio noćni klub, smešten u južnom delu njujorške opštine Menhetn. Osnovao ga je u decembru 1973. Hilly Kristal s namerom da pruži pozornicu izvođačima kantrija, blugrasa i bluza. Umesto toga je, međutim, postao omiljeno mesto pank i novotalasnih bendova, kao što su: Ramones, Misfits, Television, Patti Smith Group, Mink DeVille, The Dead Boys, The Dictators, The Fleshtones, The Voidoids, The Cramps, The B-52's, Blondie, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, The Shirts i Talking Heads. Od ranih 1980-ih je postao poznat po hardkor pank bendovima kao: Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law, U.S. Chaos, Cro-Mags, Warzone, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of It All i Youth of Today.^[1]^[2] Godine 2006. je zatvoren zbog spora oko plaćanja najamnine.^[3]
