Our friend Peter at Feast of Music sent us a list of his favorite artists he saw at CMJ – here are his 3 NYC based picks, the full list can be found here:
Yo La Tengo, MOG Showcase @ Brooklyn Bowl: incredible set from local indie heroes, with Ira Kaplan shredding his guitar and keyboard with feverish abandon. Hard to believe these guys have been at it for over 25 years!
Buke and Gass, DeliMag Showcase @ Living Room: Weird experimental folk anchored by the irresistably cute Arone Dyer, smiling through her banshee wail.
The Loom @ BV/Whisk & Ladle Loft Party: ethereal, orchestral roots music with brass and banjo in a packed Williamsburg loft, leaving everyone sweaty and beaming
