   CMJ Day 2: The Knocks (@theKnockz)

   Next was to Bowery Ballroom for the late show with The Knocks. This was their very first performance as a live ensemble and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to start it off.

   CMJ Day 1: @killQuilty

   The festival known as CMJ has descended upon NYC for 5 days of music, parties and good times. Day 1 had all that. Quilty, who played at the Knitting Factory, rocked out with dirty guitars, wicked solos, and a trombone that mimicks a bass. It’s very raw and intimate sound, especially on stage.…
