The club called CBGB's was a venue at which punk acts could appear, in the earliest days of the punk genre, when other clubs were not inviting punk groups to perform.

What NYC club is said to be the birthplace of punk?

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.

What is the UK's angular rock movement?

Basically, The Angular Rock movement started around 2005 with bands like Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, The Cribs, The Futureheads, etc. Its usually associated with the Post-Punk genre, and many of the bands in the 'Angular Movement' are also part of the Post-Punk Revival. Lots of these bands take influence in bands such as Wire. Musically, its heavily based on guitar, with overlapping rhythms, staccato and sudden temp changes. Hope this helps :)

Is there a cbgb in Las Vegas?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no original CBGB venue in Las Vegas. CBGB, known for its significant role in the punk rock scene, was originally located in New York City and closed in 2006. However, the brand has since opened pop-up events and merchandise stores in various locations, but not a permanent venue in Las Vegas. Always check for the latest information, as new developments may occur.

Was The Ramones the first punk band made?

No, they were not. The very, very first punk bands (what some people call "proto-punk") were the Stooges and the MC5 from Detroit. The first punk scene got started in New York City. The name "punk" was coined in New York City by writer Legs McNeil. He and a whole bunch of other artists and musicians were hanging out at the nightclubs CBGB's and Max Kansas City. These two clubs became the epicenter of the first punk scene. CBGB's and Max's were basically the petri dishes in which punk rock formed and grew. Although the very, very first punk bands were from Detroit, punk first became a musical movement in New York City. The Ramones were not the first punk band from New York City, either. The New York Dolls were playing together about 2 to 3 years or so before the Ramones formed. The New York Dolls would probably most accurately be called the first New York punk band. Some people call the Velvet Underground the first New York punk band. However, Lou Reed (singer/songwriter for the Velvet Underground) has consistently denied that his band was a punk band.
