John Varvatos

Slash, Joan Jett, Perry Farrell, Tom Morello, Jerry Cantrell & others played CBGB (the John Varvatos store)

last night (April 17, 2008) in NYC…. More than a few special guests (and I don’t mean the protesters) showed up to the opening party/benefit inside the John Varvatos store (aka CBGB) on the Bowery last night (April 17, 2008)…

Reverend Billy & friends protested John Varvotos (CBGB)

Reverend Billy & friends outside CBGB last night – April 17, 2008 (jeremoss) Reverend Billy joined Rebecca Moore & friends at a planned protest outside a party happening inside the new John Varvatos store which happens to be inside the former home of CBGB…

protest outside CBGB tonight

inside the John Varvatos store (Hardcore Shutterbug) this + this =

CBGB regulars not as upset as Tonic regulars

some of them anyway…. The VH1 Save The Music benefit party you heard John Varvatos talk about on Fox is now (unfortunately?) sold out. The cast of characters playing/appearing at this thing make it look like it could have been one of the 2005 ‘Save CBGB‘ lineups, or even one of the final shows the venue hosted before being shut down…

the CBGB protester is Rebecca Moore

Rebecca Moore @ Tonic, NYC – April 14, 2007 (more) I realize I already wrote that the CBGB protester is Rebecca Moore, and I did think it was weird that she brought up Tonic, but it wasn’t until just now that I realized she is REBECCA MOORE Rebecca Moore…

John Varvatos store in CBGB opens to protest(er)

John Varvatos Opens at 315 Bowery (Curbed)The interior looks dark and a little foreboding, perhaps in homage to the space’s gritty past and the punks who once performed here…

Deborah Harry, The Gossip, CBGB, Knitting Factory

Gothamist interviewed Deborah Harry today….How do you feel about CBGB being turned into an upscale boutique? It’s just a building. It’s just a storefront, really, when you get right down to it…
