On February 2, 1979, a small gathering occurred at Sid Vicious' girlfriend's (Michele Robinson) house to celebrate his release from Bellevue Hospital. Vicious was in the hospital from a failed suicide attempt after his previous girlfriend died at the Chelsea Hotel.
Although Vicious had gone through detox, his mother had brought heroin to the party. Vicious overdosed around midnight, but the party guests got him up and moving around. Around 3 a.m. Vicious overdosed again and died from accumulation of fluid in his lungs (a common symptom of heroin overdose).

Built between 1928 and 1930, the Asbury Park Convention Hall is a 3,600 seat theater that has had many rock and roll performances throughout the years.
On June 30, 1956, a concert by Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers ended early when a fistfight turned into a riot where three people were stabbed. The mayor threatened a city-wide ban on rock and roll (kinda like Footloose) that never materialized.
Led Zeppelin played Convention Hall the evening of August 16, 1969, after their manager, Peter Grant, rejected an invitation to Woodstock.
Bruce Springsteen has rehearsed for many tours here (Reunion, Rising, Vote for Change, Seeger Sessions, Magic and Working on a Dream tours) and often gives rehearsal performances to the public.
The sign on the top of Convention Hall now reads "Greetings from Asbury Park", in reference to Springsteen's 1973 debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.

Belle and Sebastian recorded their first album Tigermilk at CaVa Sound in Glasgow, Scotland. Stow College's in-house record label Electric Honey released the album in 1996 as part of their music business program, and CaVa studios hosted the record launch party.
CaVa has been around since 1974 and among other groups has worked with Teenage Fanclub, Mogwai, and The Black Eyed Peas.
