SaveCBGB.org has announced a series of shows in honor of the legendary CBGB's nightclub. Among the band scheduled to play this August are 70s punk
legends the Dead Boys, and performances by Gorilla Biscuits, and Circle Jerks as well as newer acts like Against Me! and Thursday. The goal of the
performances is to help generate support and momentum hopefully leading to a renewed lease. You can click Read More for the full list of acts.
The legendary NYC club which played home to bands like the Ramones, Patti Smith, Blondie, Television and literally hundreds of others artists through
the years may be forced to close its doors. The situation arose due to a dispute with Bowery Residents Committee which holds a 45-year lease on the
building. CBGB's is their lone commercial tenant; their rent feud dates back five years, when the committee went to court to collect more than
$300,000 in back rent from the club. The Bowery Residents Committee which is 75% funded by the city of New York has listed the property on the Real
Estate MLS for anyone else who wishes to rent 313 and 315 Bowery.

Conflict...The Ungovernable Force??? Fuck Yeah! Sham? Fuck Yeah! I hope CB's doesn't close but if the city of NY sets it's mind to it, it's pretty
much a done deal.newbreedbrian - 6-29-2005 at 11:31 PM
