CBGBs is not the end all of punk rock......for years there have been basement shows....you can still find them in every town you go to.....thats whats great about underground music.....its underground....its people booking their own shows at their own place on their own terms....and for the most part i feel it ends up being a great time
personally i would much rather see a band like....Drunkdriver on a floor with like minded people (who be the only type of person there)....yeah it would be rowdy....and people would get hurt and blood would flow....but thats part of the fun....nobody would get malicious......
on the other hand seeing a band with a bit more diverse following like say Supersuckers....still for the most part an underground band....in the fact that they don't get much media attention.....but still a very diverse crowd comes to their shows....i love seeing them live....but at times i hate the crowd....just annoying people and would hate even more in an intimate environment
