We’re not going to even try and cover the comings and going of the CMJ festival this year. We know what we gotta do when it comes to SXSW coverage, but when it’s time for CMJ, we leave it to the locals like Brooklyn Vegan. Be sure to check out his list of recommended and triple hot shows.
Donewaiting.com humbly recommends Columbus OH’s very own The Evil Queens on 9/16 @ the Pussycat Lounge @ 12am.
that’s some highly ambitious schedule he’s got up there, especially since venue-hoppping will require lots of cab rides. also CMJ doesn’t offer a wristband option like SXSW — you’ve either got to have a badge or individual tickets/money at the door for most shows, which can be really expensive.
plus, there isn’t quite as much free stuff (bbq’s, in-stores, parking lot shows, etc.) as there is in austin.
