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!

SEE YOU AT CMJ!

We’re going to be M.I.A. for the next few days during CMJ.

(Hopefully) we’ll have show reviews and photos coming in a good amount of the week. Otherwise hold tight and they’ll be up next week. We will be running around the festival day and night, so if you see us say hi. We have postcards, buttons and all kinds of fun stuff.

We will also be live tweeting at www.twitter.com/modernmystery

Also check out our CMJ After Party on Sunday!

Young Man Invades CMJ


Frenchkiss Records’ Young Man, whose debut EP hit stores on October 12th, announced last week that he’ll be doing 5 CMJ shows. Described by Altered Zones as “juvenile in only the right ways, provoking images of wide-eyed  innocence, shy giggles behind Mommy’s skirts and gangly, swinging legs that don’t quite yet reach the floor,” Young Man’s shows will occur between October 21st-October 23rd. Dates and venues are below.
