If New York City were to host a similar version of South by Southwest, it would make sense to name it after CBGB, due to the similar four-letter acronym and all. In reality, the title of the CBGB Music and Film Festival makes sense because few venues had as much impact on the history of music, or at least produced as many relevant bands as CBGB. Thanks largely to the music scene popularized at the club, the world now has acts ranging from The Ramones, Blondie, The Talking Heads, Television and Patti Smith. Although the club closed its doors during 2006, the famous name has returned as the title of a four-day arts festival showcasing hundreds of upcoming performers.
