CBGB of course was the great music room (one of the few clubs that deserve that name, and much too small and funky to be a music 'hall'). OMFUG was added years later by Hilly, the owner. I'm sure you know what those initials mean, so the question is, 'why LAMF"? lamf originated as a kind of street boast, on the end of graffitti tags, and means 'like a mother fu--ker'. it became a general intensifier, especially on the street. so CBGB OMFUG LAMF means--CBGB, only even more so, if that could possibly be possible. there is even a great rock/folk rock/weird and punkish album from that period, by Bunky and Jake, called, LAMF. A great album.
I think you must be talking about CBGB's (full name CBGB-OMFUG, which stands for Country BlueGrass Blues & Other Music for Upstanding Gormandizers). That's the legendary club where some of the first punk rock bands -- like the New York Dolls, the Ramones, the Dead Boys, Television, the Heartbreakers, the Dictators, etc., etc. -- played back in the seventies. There was another club that all these bands played at called Max's Kansas City, but it closed in 1981. CBGB's kept on going strong until 2006, until its owner, Hilly Kristal (who died of cancer in 2007), finally gave it up to CBGB Holdings Ltd. Supposedly the problem started with complaints from Kristal's landlord regarding unpaid rent. I have included links to two articles regarding the closing of CBGB's, and the rather ugly court battle between Kristal's next of kin over his estate.
