Viva Las CBGB's


"There is talk of a Johnny Rotten Roulette Wheel but the Sid Vicious Slots have yet to be confirmed."

The Harpoville Post reports that Hell has frozen over packed up and moved out west to Las Vegas as news the New York City nite-club CBGB's is doing the same. The club, which has been a New York City landmake for some 30 years, first opened as a bar offering both types of music, Country and Western, but by the late 70's they decided to take the 'O' out of country and go punk. Soon it was the place to be with a safety pin thru your cheek and your best ripped 'T'. Now 30 years later they're picking up, packing up and going western again but this time all the way the Las Vegas.

The Harpoville Post has learned that big city real estate is the reason that CBGB's is closing its doors and looking for a new place to hang its shingle. But, all the way to Las Vegas? It's seems Manhattans movers and shakers needed another place to wet their parched asbestos coated post 9/11 lips so they decided that the Bowery's CBGB's location was the best place to open another Tony Martini's. So they've given CBGB's owner Hilly Kristal his walking papers and he's packing up all up, the bar, the posters, the vinyl Vicious vomit and even the toilets where many a junky OD on and dragging it all out west to set it up on the Glitz and Glitter strip of Las Vegas.

The Harpoville Post reports the soon 'old punk rockers', who haven't already slipped out the back door to meet their maker, will be seen strutting the Las Vegas strip with the likes of Liza, Elton, Rod, Barbara, Zigfield and half of Roy doing three shows a night with a two drink minimum saying things like; "Maybe you remember this one and I'll be here all week try the veal."
