We were able to catch the first ever Bad Books show at CMJ and WOAH, was it good. The Kevin Devine / Manchester Orchestra combination is even better than you could possible expect. Check out all the photos from the show right HERE!

CMJ 2010 Photos: Kids of 88 @ Trash Bar
New Zealand isn’t just cool because Flight of the Conchords made it that way. Kids of 88 are sure doing their share to bring it into the limelight. Check out the pictures from their amazing show at the Trash Bar during CMJ RIGHT HERE!
CMJ 2010 Photos: Miniature Tigers @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
One of our favorite bands ever hit up the Music Hall of Williamsburg during CMJ. We totally had flashbacks of interviewing a young Mini T’s during their first ever NYC visit in 2008 at the festival. How time flys. We feel like proud parents. View all of the photos from the show HERE!
CMJ 2010 Photos: Modern Mystery & The Musebox CMJ Party featuring The Twees
We threw a huge party to end CMJ with our friends at The Musebox on Sunday night to close out the fest. In the depths of Brooklyn at the McKibben Lofts we had performances by The Twees, The Lines, Wyldlife, SHAPES, Etta Place, The Static Jacks, and Reckless Sons. The place was packed, smokey, and ready to rock out. A VERY special thanks to Jason Abrishami (also in the amazing band, The Twees) for putting his blood, sweat and tears into this event. Take a look at all the photos RIGHT HERE!
CMJ 2010 – The Recap
I’m not sure how long it is going to take us to recover from this CMJ. Interviewing everyone from Class Actress to Frankie Rose and the Outs, to filming Jukebox the Ghost to Brian Bonz, we barely had time to eat (1am hamburger anyone?).
The interviews and filmings will trickle in slowly this week as we sort through one of the craziest weeks of our lives. But keep checking back, because we have some incredible footage.
Look further down the page from some early highlights of the week!
Jukebox the Ghost Rocked the Delancey at CMJ
Jukebox the Ghost tore the roof ….Well,the basement of the Delancey playing a daytime party for SneakAttack Media and Steve Madden music during CMJ 2010
These guys take rocking keyboard grooves and amazing songwriting and bring pinching energy to their fans. Right away from the start of their set, the band got the crowd going with awesome piano beats and strong guitar licks. There were alot of day parties and regular showcases going on during CMJ , but being up front you could tell all the college radio DJ’s were in the front of the crowd paying attention to these young rockers. I hate making comparisons when talking about bands, but these guys have the same gusto and fan appeal as 90’s rockers Ben Folds Five.
I see big things from Jukebox the Ghost in the next year or so.
Make sure you pick up their newest cd “Everything Under the Sun” on Yeproc records.
The band will be touring the rest of 2010 with dates with Guster as well as Barenaked Ladies.
