MARIONETTES OF SATAN

Marionettes of Satan simply bring it. And their performance tonight at our unofficial CMJ party will be no exception. Their blistering sound and unabashed stage antics will not be lost on the Bushwick crowd this evening. Fuck the playoffs, come experience some real shit. Marionettes of Satan are sure to deliver. See you there!

MeKaniKdolls

MeKaniKdolls are going to be awesome tonight at our unofficial CMJ party. All I have to say is, just come! An easy $4 and a PBR will get you in the mood for a wide array of underground Bushwick music.

postMagic

postMagic are brand new. The latest underground sound coming from Bushwick. This three-piece came together by way of Northeast Kingdom and Burlington, VT. Tonight they play their second ever live show at our unofficial CMJ party. Check out their brand new track "Buzz Around You", streaming now on myspace.

YES ALEXANDER

Yes Alexander has been a longtime favorite of The Sky Report and now she's playing our unofficial CMJ showcase tonight! Her work with The Casual Lust piqued our interest and her work with Blue Sky Black Death completely won us over. Now she has some new solo work streaming on myspace. Check out the stunning new track "Heart Broke". It is guaranteed to grab you.

CALLERS

Tonight Callers play our unofficial CMJ party and we can't believe we actually landed them! The immensely talented trio of vocalist Sara Lucas, guitarist Ryan Seaton, and drummer Don Godwin spent last spring touring with Here We Go Magic and released their debut album Fortune on Western Vinyl. The band plays tonight at Tandem at 8:30. Don't miss out.

CMJ Marathon Kicks Off Today!

And if you're like me, you'll be doing it rogue-style. If you don't have a badge, just get to the shows really early. Nine times out of ten you'll always get in. Or go totally renegade and catch shows that are off the beaten path...like ours. Everything you need to know about the "official" side of CMJ can be found at the "official" website.

PASS KONTROL Debut New Songs

Pass Kontrol are one of the headliners of our unofficlal CMJ party this Wednesday and, coincidentally, they have unveiled some new material. The Bushwick band recently premiered the new track "New Hope City" on Myspace, along with another new one, "Twins". But no one knows Pass Kontrol if they haven't seen them live. Don't miss their performance at Tandem on Wednesday at 11:30PM.

FAN-TAN


Fan-Tan are one of the rising Brooklyn bands playing our unofficial CMJ party on Wednesday. They recently released the Bars In Window ep and are also playing the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on November 5th.
"We guess we're into totally epic synth pop lately, because Fan-Tan's big and sprawling melodies are hitting us kind of right. Listening to this, we really wish we were in a massive rainstorm and there was a camera shooting down on us from a crane, because then we could outstretch our hands and lift them high to heavens while shouting a roar that's equal parts joy and pain. That's what Fan-Tan makes us want to do." - ohmyrockness.com

Don't take our word for it. Check out a handful of tunes from Fan-Tan at Myspace.
