no need to wait, when CMJ Music Marathon is just around the corner! That's right, the
East Coast's premiere indie music festival and resource for emerging artists is returning to
New York for its 2007 incarnation, 10/16 - 10/20.
During the day, conference attendees will have the opportunity to learn from the pros. But
it's when the sun goes down on the NY skyline that the party really starts. CMJ
showcases have been the coming out party for many of the last year's biggest buzz bands.
Among the breakout bands at CMJ 2006 were the crazy Brazilians of CSS and the lads
of Cold War Kids. Some of the hardest working bands at last year's fest, they played
multiple showcases -- often several in the same day. Their unstoppable dedication proved
that blood, sweat and tears will get you noticed by tastemakers, fans and the national
press, alike. Just look at them now!
