I covered this year’s CMJ for Flavorpill/Flavorwire and was given free reign as to which bands to see.
First up was the Terrorbird day showcase at Cake Shop featuring Silver Starling, ZAZA, Warpaint, Darlings, and Black Hollies (topping the day party with a very catchy set).

Next up were Freelance Whales, Findlay Brown (who was reminiscent of Elvis, albeit quieter), TigerCity, and the Postelles at Bowery Ballroom.
