The Story of CBGB
CBGB-OMFUG, Hilly Kristal's notorious nightclub on New York's Bowery, is considered the birthplace of the punk and new wave movements in American rock and roll. The Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and many others got their start at CBGB, and created a scene that became the focus of international attention.
In This Ain't No Disco, Roman Kozak brigs together memories, stories, and gossip from dozens of people who have played, workd or hung out at CBGB from its beginnings as a country music club to today's hardccore matinees. More than a history, This Ain't No Disco is an honest, opinionated, sometimes hilarious documet of fifteen years of late loud nights at CBGB.
