The 688 Club was a popular alternative music venue in Atlanta, Georgia, located at 688 Spring Street, near the intersection of Spring and 3rd Streets. The 688 Club opened in May, 1980 and closed in November, 1986. During its brief lifetime, the 688 played host to hundreds of punk, new wave, and alternative bands -- many of whom would later become world famous.
During the early 1980s, the 688 Club was the primary place for up-and-coming bands from Athens, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia to get noticed. Bands that appeared at the 688 Club between 1980 and 1986 include:
Kimle tanışmak isterim: People who went to 688, people who played 688, people who wished they were born when 688 was open, people who wear 688 T-shirts, people who have 688 band posters or other memorabilia.
