ABOUT CBGB & OMFUG – HOME OF UNDERGROUND ROCK

Founded in 1973 in Manhattan's East Village, CBGB was ground zero for the seminal punk rock and new wave movements, launching the careers of bands like the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith Group, The Dead Boys, Richard Hell, The Beastie Boys, and The Dictators. During the 1980s, CBGB became home to the hardcore punk revolution, with bands such as Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law, Cro-Mags, and Gorilla Biscuits becoming synonymous with the club. In the 1990s, the club embraced the next generation of hard rock, with bands including Sum 41, Korn, Green Day, and Guns N' Roses regularly performing. Over the past 50 years, CBGB has become the most famous, influential, and talked-about rock & roll club of all time. Its iconic logo continues to personify underground and alternative music and all that it stands for. In 2013, the former location at 315 Bowery was added to the National Register of Historic Places and remains a pilgrimage site for legions of music fans today. CBGB’s legacy and cultural relevance are now managed by a passionate group of New York City–based music lovers dedicated to curating its impact on music, fashion, and visual art.
