I'm still on a pretty big high after our first ever CMJ showcase tonight at The Living Room for WFUV and The Alternate Side. CMJ is all about musical discovery and our showcase echoed that sentiment.
We're pretty excited about our first CMJ showcase tonight (7-10pm at The Living Room; stop by or listen live on FUV), but anything called a "music marathon" means there are a LOT of other shows going on too. One is The Walkmen's CMJ set at Terminal 5 on Thursday, so on today's Take Five, we offer up a little flashback to the band's latest visit to Studio A to hang out with Eric Holland. Other good news: The Walkmen have two new songs to check out—either as freebie vinyl at Terminal 5 (if you get there early), non-freebie vinyl set for release in November, or an online listen now.
WFUV and The Alternate Side's very first CMJ Music Marathon showcase takes place tomorrow, October 16, at the Living Room. We had a few questions to ask our four international bands — Copenhagen's Indians, Dublin's Little Green Cars and New York bands Savoir Adore and Wax Poetic — and they kindly offered up their views on everything from Brooklyn "myths" to not-to-be-missed CMJ acts.
Savoir Adore, Indians, Little Green Cars and Wax Poetic have been tapped to play WFUV and The Alternate Side's inaugural CMJ Music Marathon showcase taking place on Tuesday, October 16, at the Living Room. The WFUV and TAS showcase, which will be broadcast live on 90.7 WFUV beginning at 7 p.m. EDT, is supported by TuneIn. Listen to the world.
