CMJ Music Marathon 2012 RECAP

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 11:57 pm, by Adam

We are super-excited to have performed in this year’s CMJ Music Marathon. Huge thanks to Berklee College of Music for inviting us to play and to QRO Magazine for coming to the show to photograph our performance. What an amazing weekend!

After a quick stop over at Mama Nero’s house in Connecticut for a good night’s sleep and amazing home cooked meals, we were off to NYC!! We picked up our CMJ Artist badges, and embarked on an interesting quest for parking (our van is big).  Then we made our way to the Bowery Electric to catch the Outlaw Roadshow, presented by Ryan’s Smashing Life. It was a fantastic collection of awesome Boston artists. We were especially excited to catch our good friends Mellow Bravo, who absolutely rocked the room. We caught a few sets before trekking over to Chinatown to grab the van. Soon after, we arrived at 92Y Tribeca for our CMJ showcase, presented by Berklee College of Music. It was a fantastic show: there was a great crowd, a nice bar, and a stellar bill full of awesome bands (Golden Bloom, Bent Knee, Gina’s Picture Show, and more).  QRO Mag came out to catch our set and they captured some awesome moments on film. Check out the shots!
