Before CBGB's there was the Mercer Arts Center. This is the wild story of the hotel that housed that venue, it's collapse, and how it led to the rise of CBGB's and punk rock. Today we touch on a few notable bands from the 1970s, including New York Dolls, Television, Ramones, and The Modern Lovers.
From the fanfare of the Grand Central Hotel in the 1870s to the two notable events that took place with its first ten years, to the birth and collapse of the Mercer Arts Center, this fascinating story digs into a little covered history within the underground music scene in New York City during the early 1970s.
