. (siN's metal news) Famed club CBGB is set to close it's doors by the end of 2006. An official statement by the birthplace to punk rock, and much more, is below:

"We are closing. Our landlord had neither the obligation nor the interest to give us a new lease when our old lease expired in August. Since then, we have been fighting a losing battle, trying to buy time, against our eviction."

"CBGB is officially closing by October 2006. No postponements, no court dates, no appeals... that's it." [see full story for more including future plans in NYC and Vegas] - Click here for the Full Story
