Plot Summary
CBGB follows the story of Hilly Kristal's New York club from its conceit as a venue for Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock 'n roll and punk. When Kristal had difficulty booking country bands in his club on the Bowery he opened his doors to other kinds of rock music. Kristal had one demand of the acts he booked; they could only play original music. No top 40's, no covers. It was the credo he lived by, support the artist at whatever the cost. Hilly Kristal ironically became known as the godfather of punk giving a chance to such bands as Blondie, Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, Dead Boys and The Police.

Look forward to seeing this. I filmed a show there once. Lot of stuff went down in that club.
 
the trailer is disappointing. its obvious the story is all surface wouldn't this be cool stuff. it looks too slick and over produced. I'd be very surprised if this isn't a dud. given what its about it should be a whole lot grittier. a 16mm feel
