Amanda Roszkowski writesCHIRP Radio Presents “Tribute to Punk: CBGB to the UK” at Old Town School on Saturday Feb. 15!

This Saturday, take a trip back in time to 1970’s Bleecker Street in Manhattan with the emergence of The Ramones and the streets of London in 1975 with the rise of The Sex Pistols. The early days of punk were an exciting time that deserves to be recognized. That’s why, this Saturday, February 15 at 8PM CHIRP Radio is sponsoring a “Tribute to Punk: CBGB to the UK” at the Old Town School of Folk and Music.

Join faculty, friends, students and staff of the music school to pay tribute to these early days of Punk Rock from the ‘70s to 1981. Other bands from the time like Blondie, Talking, the Clash, Patti Smith, X Ray Spex, Bikini Kill, Mink DeVille, Television, X, Wire and more will also get that special Old Town School treatment as they turn Szold Hall into the Bowery! The Old Town’s Jimmy Tomasello will host the event. Tickets are $15 for the general public and $13 for members. Learn more and buy your tickets here!
