Patti Smith, Bad Brains, Play CBGB’s Final Week
So do the Dictators, Debbie Harry, more

So for once, beating a dead horse paid off. After years of basically just plain sucking, CBGB has announced a decent lineup for its closing week, made up of many of the legendary club’s notable alumni.

Instead of the usual less-than-mediocre punk bands, the club will deliver some old favorites. Staying true to their roots are Bad Brains (with three shows), Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie, the Dictators, Avail, and more.

The itinerary from here on out:

Monday, October 9:
Bad Brains, Avail, McRAD, Dub Trio

Wednesday, October 11:
