Our friend Alex took this photo (be sure to check out his site Flaming Pablum) ...
Shepard Fairy — in connection with The L.I.S.A. Project NYC — created this mural in August 2017, replacing the two-year-old Joey Ramone/CBGB mural.
Word is the space will give way to another CBGB favorite — Bad Brains.
By the way, CBGB debuted on Dec. 10, 1973, across the way at 315 Bowery.

That was a good mural, and I'll miss it! (Somehow I didn't know it was Fairey.) FWIW, it plays a role in Kate Clayborn's novel Love Lettering, which is as much a valentine to NYC signs, ghost signs, and old fonts as it is as romance. Highly recommended to fellow Grieve readers who love our city's history of signage! I do hope to love the Bad Brains mural, too.
Loud and fast F**K art lets dance
Re 11:45 I remember that use to be painted on the new new art gallery’s
There should be space for all the CBGB original bands as murals. This Blondie on was excellent.
