CMJ Music Marathon (Shows This Past Week)



Megaphonic Thrift

Norwegian alt rock in a Sonic Youth meets My Bloody Valentine meets Smashing Pumpkins- Gish era sound.

Japanther
The Suffolk Back Room

Loud and distorted bass and drums.  They seemed to pick up where Death from Above 1979 left off... and thats a good thing.

Midnight Juggernauts
Bowery Ballroom

Was looking forward to this show all night only to have them get cut off by the 1am curfew at Bowery Ballrooom... lame.

Fools Gold
Bowery Poetry Club
http://www.myspace.com/foolsgold

LA based band creates a wonderful combination of folk leaning indie rock and some latin/world sounds.
