Burnin' Down the House - The Story of CBGB

The new documentary "Burning Down the House - The Story of CBGB opens this week at the Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary was shot by Mandy Stein, who, it was written at the film fest's site..."is the daughter of the legendary Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who cherry-picked bands from the CBGB stage for his label—finds no shortage of musicians, employees, and patrons to share their passion for the anything-goes spirit of the club and its beloved founder, Hilly Kristal. Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Ice-T, Steven Van Zandt, Fab 5 Freddy, and many others offer up their reverence, but ultimately Burning Down the House pays tribute not just to the club, but to the endurance of the energy and creativity that brought it to life."

See the trailer here - it's definitely a New York rock and roll love story that can be shared by everyone who ever played there and as many of the patrons who came, saw, drank, puked and rocked out to all the bands.
