The Silence After – The last days of CBGB’s
- The downfall of CBGBs
- 50 minutes of black and white ventricular fibrillations
- Onstage artifacts captured during the last supper of an anachronism passing away
- Camera work as rough and stinky as the subject matter itself
- Watch the complete film on YouTube if you can’t make it to a screening
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.
