St Louis Makes a Decent Showing at CMJ
Much like SXSW, the annual CMJ Festival in New York serves a far different purpose than it once did. While a few bands score record deals from showcases, and you can discover some fantastically named acts -- my personal new fave is Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger!, a dour dance-punk band -- the vast majority of musicians playing CMJ shows are already signed or established.
St. Louis bands playing the fest this year all tend to be on the verge (or in the midst of) great things. Here's a day-to-day schedule of who's playing where in NYC this year.
