We’ve finally caught our breath after the five-night CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. Hundreds of bands, dozens of venues, multiple late nights and several tasty beverages later, we bring to you the CMJ version of Six Degrees. You know the game–it’s a small world and we’re all somehow related. This theory applies to the music scene as well, no matter what you listen to, where you hang or who you know. We’re just showing you the connections.
School of Seven Bells joined The xx at a sold-out show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.
The band everyone wanted to catch this year. The xx played a few official shows, made an appearance at the Apple store and were the secret headlining performers at the Club NME showcase.
Speaking of the NME showcase, the often-mentioned Bear Hands also played.
Bear Hands also took the stage at the Bowery Ballroom, where Midnight Juggernauts had done so a couple days before.
The Melbourne band likewise crossed paths with Heavy Trash at Santos Party House.
Andrew W.K., a partial owner of Santos, made everyone’s favorite panelist list.
