The CBGB Band Movement Still Lives On

By Estelle Larsen


There are some who have a very particular taste in music. CBGB band is better known as new wave and American Punk music. Its founder was Hilly Kristal, his birth name was Hillel. He was born in 1931 on the 23rd September and about years later he opened a new club. Not long after this the club had to close its doors as he had an argument with the landlord about rent.

This is the oldest thoroughfare on the Island and spans about the entire length. When the Dutch settled they named the path Bouwerij which means farm when translated. The first residents settled in 1654 and them and their wives set up different cabins and started a cattle farm. Some of the bands that play the American Punk and new wave music are Talking Heads, Misfits, Blondie, The Police as well as The Heartbreakers and Green Day. Talking Heads came together in 1975 and broke up in 1991. They made use of punk rock, art rock, pop and world music.

He married Karen Kristal and had a girl, Lisa and a boy Mark. When he died in August 2007of lung cancer at an age of 75, his family got the impression that he was broke but when the Will was read found out that he was a millionaire. His wife even signed away her rights to Sareb Restaurant Corp when she thought her husband had no money left. The found out that he had a house in Asbury Park and he had paid about $600 000 for it.

The Misfits are a band that is recognized by its horror punk and make music with themes from horror movies. The band was formed in 1977 and in 1983 broke up. Their music was later released and became more heavy metal and alternative rock in the early 2000s.

Her mother was a waitress with an Irish heritage. In her early childhood she lived in an area close to Philadelphia before moving with the family to New Jersey. Her mother was a Jehovah's Witness so naturally she had a very religious upbringing. When she turned twelve her interests started in Tibetan Buddhism. As she grew older she listened to the records by Harry Belafonte and Patience and Prudence. After she graduated from school in 1964 she worked in a factory where she fell pregnant and decided to give her child up for adoption.

These settlers then spread into Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky singing songs of day to day life as they saw it in the new country. These mainly were about life on the farms and were called "country music", or "mountain music". When the phonograph was invented this helped to let the rest of the United States hear this kind of music as well.

In the 1930s the Monroe Brothers were very popular as they sang most of their songs in duet. Later they split up and both formed bands of their own. Billy stayed in his home town and his new band started a new kind of country music.

There are festivals every year in two separate locations in America and it is one of those that entrance is for free. The original location was later added to the National Register of Historic Places. The kind of music that was played there during the 1970s defined the culture of Manhattan. The club is now used by a retail business and is still an important site for its fans.
