CMJ approaches, here's what to see!
I've got a firm belief that whenever these music marathons or industry showcases you should go to as many shows as you possibly can because lots of bands that normally don't come to perform show up in droves. Because there are a gazillion bands performing at the CMJ marathon, I'm highlighting the parties/shows that I think should not be missed. Each title is a link to the ticket/RSVP page, and has the pricing in bold. This little list will be updated up through CMJ.
10/17Fool's Gold Tour w/ Kid Sister, DJ Mehdi, A-Trak, Kavinsky - 10:30pm @ Hiro Ballroom - $12
You've probably heard of Kid Sister from the Kanye "Can't Tell Me Nothing" mixtape. She's rocking out the show with Mehdi and Kavinsky who are both excellent Djs from the now world-famous Ed Banger crew. Oh yeah...and don't forget DMC champion A-trak who just happens to also be Kanye's DJ.

10/19MSTRKRFT, Z-Trip, Lazaro Casanova - Studio B
It's cool to see it mixed up with Z-Trip who's sets get people going nuts. I saw him spin on the Scratch tour back in 2003 where he retired his 45" records-only set here in NYC. Don't miss this! MSTRKRFT of course are the big boys of the scene right now so if you haven't seen them play out, here's your chance.
10/20Matt and Kim w/ Flosstradamus - Music Hall of Williamsburg -
$5Best friends Matt and Kim and Flosstradamus are gonna throw down an awesome show on the 20th. If Justice isn't your thing you should definitely go see these guys. Matt and Kim are probably the happiest sounding kids you'll ever hear and Flosstradamus throws down amazing sets mixing with 3 tables no less! Don't Miss This!
