Deux Punx subscriptions
CBGBs is the venue when it comes to celebrating the punk scene – the scuzzy East Village space is considered the birthplace of the genre, as well as New York’s rock and folk scenes. On any given night in the ‘70s, you could have caught sets from the likes of The Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads and many more in its graffitied walls. But that wasn’t the end of its legacy – in the ‘80s it became a hub for hardcore, giving a home to Sick Of It All, Cro-Mags, Gorilla Biscuits and more, while it continued to host gigs until it was forced to close by rising rents in 2006.
