Fucking Rock and Fucking Roll!
It’s that time of the year again — the CMJ Music Marathon, when millions of scruffy-haired hipsters in billions of bands trying their damndest to be the Next Big Thing descend upon NYC for a week of rocking the fuck out, getting the fuck fucked up and fucking anything in sight.
CMJ is known for showcasing the best and brightest of the underground rock scene, and this year is no different, with everyone from cross-dressing Deerhunter waif Bradford Cox’s Atlas Sound project to buzz band Cymbals Eat Guitars to brooding British rockers The XX among the endless acts set to take the stage at dozens of venues around town.
This weekend the altrock fest kicks into overdrive so plan out your rocking schedule here and your drinking (open bars!) schedule here.
If you can’t attend or aren’t in the NYC area [too bad for you, sucker] WNYU, the trustafarians favorite radio station will be featuring some of the bands from the week, both On-Air and at WNYU.org
