CBGB: Trailer zum Kinofilm


Im Oktober kommt CBGB in den USA in die Kinos - ein Film, der die Geschichte des legendären Clubs in New York nacherzählt. Jetzt ist ein Trailer mit zahlreichen Filmszenen veröffentlicht worden. Zur Story des Films heißt es:
"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."
