It was announced in NYC earlier today, April 1, 2005, that there will be a week long series of benefit concerts to support CBGBs, the legendery punk/new wave concert venue.
Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Ryuichi Sakamoto were present at the news conference, where they discussed the influence that CBGBs and Hilly Kristal had on their early development.
