Does CBGB's Still Matter?
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
A judge has ruled that legendary New York City club CBGB can't be evicted from their building for past due rent. But the landlord is appealing and CBGB's still doesn't have a new lease. Today, Chicago Sun-Times rock critic Jim DeRogatis looks at whether that club still really matters. Also joining us is J. Ralph. The 29-year-old musician's hypnotic compositions have become a hit with advertisers, appearing in ads for Volkswagen, Nike and others. His music blends lush orchestral backdrops with electronica and quasi-operatic singing. He joins us to talk about his work and commercial success.
