The fest will feature 300 bands – some familiar in hardcore circles, others getting their first crack at opening for a headliner – at a string of participating venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

was at the Bowery Electric tonight and saw Walter Steding (and Crazy Mary), The Miamis and Tuff Darts.
Walter Steding was great - I was surprised by Miamis (not what I expected). Tuff Darts stayed true to their roots. Stayed for "Nuclear Waste".
Sugoi !!!

from the NY Times:
"On Thursday night at Bowery Electric about a block north of where CBGB stood, musicians who had performed regularly in the earliest years of CBGB shared a lengthy bill. Some were still pugnacious, like the band Certain General, playing its angular post-punk as the singer Parker Dulany stalked the stage with hollow-eyed intensity. And some had mellowed. After midnight a slight, gray-bearded man with a mandolin took the stage: Tommy Ramone, the last survivor of the original Ramones, leading Uncle Monk, his duo with an acoustic guitarist. Partway through the rural-flavored set, he said, “We’d like to do a little song that I wrote when I was very young.†It was the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,†redone Appalachian-style. All these years later CBGB was finally getting its bluegrass."

Exciting information!Tommy Mandel (Bryan Adams fame) came from Miamis and sometime i must purscase to their retrospective.Tuff Darts were also a tremendous very early cbgb's band,with Jeff Salen(r.i.p)going to Sparks in 1977 for the album Big Beat,and Johnny Morelli to Blue Angel-the loungy new wave band of Cindy Lauper.Is Tommy Frenzy still with them?
