Ah, it’s that time of year again for me to write about another year of Randomville. The holidays usually make it difficult to find the time to write this piece each year. I’m just amazed I got it done before January this year! Before I reflect back, I’d like to mention a few of the [...]

NYC: 4 Shows, 4 Venues, 5 Nights with The Bowery Presents   It is easy to joke that ‘concert season’ is in the spring and fall. This seems to be because in the summer bands prefer to play the festival circuit and in the winter they seem to be hibernating from the cold. But during [...]

Traditionally CMJ has been an event held in several venues throughout the city allowing for industry insiders to gain exposure to up-and-coming or unsigned bands.
