So, I was realizing that it would be irresponible of me not to post my picks for CMJ-Week shows. I don't think I'll go to any "official" CMJ shows, but I'm happy that bandz are in town and want 2 play showz.
Alright, let's get this shit STARTED!
Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Day:
Pop Tarts Suck Toasted Kickoff Day Show @ Cake Shop
I took the entire week off from work, mainly so I could drink too much and sleep in, but ALSO so I could hit the day shows. This one will truly rule. Mostly because it features PopJew favorite cute band
Surfer Blood but also because it features some other bands. Also it's free and will be funnnnnnnnnnn. I like things thrown by bloggers because it makes me feel like blogs are "important" and not just a
waste of my time while I fuck around and avoid getting a real career. Ah life. The best/worst.
Night:
Chocolate Bobka killer chiller show @ Monkey Town
Okay, this show isn't just Chocolate Bobka. It's also my two favorite nice-core bros: Underwater Peeps, and Olde English Spelling Bee. It also features PopJew obsession Fluffy Lumbers and really cool Ridgewood dude Julian Lynch who can play a mean clarinet. The flyer features the phrase "Straight Chilling" which is really close to (but not quite) my favorite phrase:
str8 chillin' (it's much more chill tat way). I also hear the food at Monkey Town rulez.
Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Day:
Pianos or Cake Shop?To be honest, nothing really jumps out at me for during the day, but I might hit up Pianos to watch Surfer Blood and Real Estate (also These United States, Holopaw, Stricken City, Grooms, Seven Saturdays) or Cake Shop to see Darlings (also The Black Hollies, Warpaint, ZAZA, Silver Starling, Turbo Fruits, Tempo No Tempo).
Night:
Happy Birthday, Male Bonding, German Measles, Unnatural Helpers, Uzi Rash @ Silent Barn
I think I've said enough about this show, it's gonna rule... and I'll be there because I'm working so I need to be. You know the drill.
Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There's not much I want to do during the day on Thursday, I might stumble into Bruar Falls and check it out, but that night...
Impose Party @ Don Pedro's!
Even though the WNYU even at Market Hotel that night will probably be pretty fantastic, I'm gonna ditch out on that to go to this Impose Party. First of all: the men will be more age appropriate for me. Second of all: Ummmm did you see this lineup? I haven't seen The Beets since they've been back from tour, I love Smith Westerns oh so much, and Dream Diary, and Beach Fossils and yay.
Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Again, no interesting day showz on Friday (and I won't go see the xx at all, thank you very much) but I'm very much looking forward to....
Bruar Falls awesome Clusterfuck @ Bruar Falls
Ummmmm.... Duh.
Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Day:
People Chillaxing Under The Sea "Afternoon Delight" @ Cameo
Which will rule, but will unfortunately force me to leave early to curate my awesome Let's Wrestle, A Classic Education, My Teenage Stride, Slang Chickens, Jacques Detergent Show @ Silent Barn.
See you there I hope?
