The 40 Watt Club is a world-famous nightclub located at 285 W. Washington Street in Athens, Georgia. Considered one of the most famous music clubs in Georgia, if not the United States, the 40 Watt Club received its reputation mainly based on its long-running association with the local legends of the Athens music scene. Many Athens bands, including R.E.M., the B-52's, Widespread Panic, Love Tractor, Pylon, the Method Actors, Vic Chesnutt, and the Squalls, got their start at the 40 Watt. The first unofficial incarnation of the 40 Watt was in the College Street apartment of Pylon band member Curtis Crowe; the club's name referred to the power of the only light source in the apartment. The first show, held on Halloween in 1978, featured Crowe's band Strictly American.
