The CMJ Music Marathon | 10/21 through 10/25 New York City
SATURDAY CMJ FOURPLAY — 10/25
The Wild Honey Pie – Showcase
Shark Week
It might be getting colder every day here in NYC, but Shark Week are bringing an eternal summer to the stage with their surf pop sound mixed with raw, fuzzed-up punk. And much like their name, they’ve got teeth, providing you with the perfect chance to break stuff (just don’t get yourself thrown out until after you’ve watched their whole set). (Alex Bear)
Arlene’s Grocery // 12:15AM
Pity Sex
If you’re looking for all the passion, talent and DIY nature that comes standard in the Midwest music scene, look no further than Pity Sex. The Ann Arbor bred four piece are hitting the final day of the CMJ Music Marathon with their grungy indie punk sound. If you don’t want to miss the storied live show put on by one of Michigan’s finest acts, find yourself at Baby’s All Right at 10:15PM. (Emillie Marvel)
Baby’s All Right, 146 Broadway, Brooklyn // 10:15PM – 11:00PM
Silver Point Records and Madhouse Management – Showcase
It’s the last day of CMJ. You’re probably tired, broke and hungover, but you’ve almost made it! Don’t quit now! This showcase is free and it’ll be an indie rock lover’s paradise. Best of all, Siren Sounds PR & Willow Wood Official Showcase is happening right after this one, so the Lower East Side venue Arlene’s Grocery wouldn’t be a bad place to stay all day, actually. But, this daytime showcase, featuring personal favorites The Wans and Turf War, is definitely one to check out. Other artists include Concord America, Tesla Rossa, Penicillin Baby, Ugly Kids Club and Tetherball. (Alyson Stokes)
