The first punk-scene band at Kristal's nightspot was Television, soon followed by Patti Smith. Punk poet Smith will play the closing night as well, a booking that Kristal described as effortless.

Smith isn't the only veteran playing one last gig. The '80s hardcore band Bad Brains and the '70s punks the Dictators are both scheduled for the final week. Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein are also stopping by.

god damn,if I known about all that I would have driven up to NYC for the week

Now it's moving to my home town..Sucks for NY, but great for Vegas. Rumor has it that the new one in Vegas will have everything imported from the original CBGB's.
