The Silence After - A Film About the Last Days of CBGB’s
posted by RichmanVA
From UN:ART:IG:
“Before CBGB’s doors finally closed for good on October 15th 2006 a number of farewell shows graced the legendary club for a very last time. Dinosaurs mankind had believed to be extinct found their way back home from Jurassic Punk, onto a stage they hadn’t set foot on in ages. Some of these performances were sensational, others outrageously pathetic and insulting. No matter what category one might file them under, they all had one thing in common. A sold out madhouse atmosphere with a distinct vibe of nostalgia and last supper feasting. Talk about a good time… “THE SILENCE AFTER” presents the highs and lows of these unforgettable moments”
The film, which features live footage filmed in the weeks leading up to the closing of CBGB’s can be viewed completely for free online. The majority of the bands featured are mainstays of the New York scene that got their start playing the 80’s “Hardcore Matinees” that CB’s offered.
