Get ready to rock out at The Anthrax, the legendary punk rock venue located at 25 Perry Ave in Norwalk, Connecticut! This historic spot was the place to be in the 1980s and early 1990s before it sadly closed its doors. But don’t worry, we’ve got all the juicy details for you.
The Anthrax first started out as a club in the basement of an art gallery in Stamford, Connecticut. Can you imagine rocking out in a basement? How cool is that? But then, in 1986, it moved to its iconic location on Perry Avenue in Norwalk. This place became a punk rock haven, attracting national acts like Black Flag, Dag Nasty, 7 Seconds, Government Issue, and the Descendents. Talk about some serious punk cred!
Now, let’s talk about one of the most epic moments in The Anthrax’s history: when Bad Religion took the stage not once, not twice, but three times! First, on December 19, 1986, they rocked the house as part of their 1986 East Coast Tour. Then, on September 16, 1988, they brought their “Suffer” North American tour to The Anthrax. And finally, on June 28, 1990, they were back again for the “No Control” North American tour. Can you imagine the energy and excitement in that place?
So, if you’re a punk rock enthusiast or just love a good time, The Anthrax is a must-visit spot. Even though it’s no longer open, its legacy lives on in the hearts of punk rock fans everywhere.
