City Gardens, NJ

My buddy just forwarded me the Trailer of this great place some of us saw shows at in our younger years in Trenton, NJ. I saw quite a few hardcore bands here bank in the day. I'm sure some of you East Coast guys have been there.

Ah man, nostalgic to say the least. I miss that scary place and real punk rock shows (period). The pit scenes are nuts. Alls fun until someone breaks a nose. I work in Trenton and every once in a while get to drive by. Still a scary area.
NJ punk took another recent blow with the closing of New Brunswick’s Court Tavern. Just a sign of the times I suppose. CY, thanks for sharing that link. I definitely need to check out that movie.

Dillinger, i'm pumped to see this flic. Some of my greatest memories in hardcore music is from that place and man was it rough. I didn't go to too many shows in Jersey, but this is venue i'll never forget. It's in the same league as CBGB's and the Troc in Philly. I remember my friend who took us there the first time and he said to look at no one outside the car and if the traffic lights are red, we're going through them. Scary place to say the least.
