    ...the legendary club that has hosted acts such as Patti Smith, the Talking Heads, the Ramones, and Blondie...

    The name of this band is Talking Heads

      the saddest part of this is that the east village/bowery is losing its identity. manhattan is being overrun by expensive residences and businesses. this is part of the pattern that has seen artists and writers and musicians moving to brooklyn to avoid the high rents in manhattan.

      there are still a few good places eastward. get there while you can.
