The 40 Watt Club is a music venue in Athens Georgia. Along with CBGB’s the Whisky a Go Go and selected others it was instrumental in launching American punk rock and New Wave music.[citation needed]The 40 Watt Club had its origins as Curtis Crowe’s College Avenue loft back in 1978. Bill Tabor and Curtis joked that it was a 40 Watt Club due to the single 40 Watt bulb which hung from the ceiling.
