CMJ Fest

[tinygee]

just wondering if any of you have been to new york for this festival, and if so maybe you can answer my question...i only want to attend one show at the living room on sat at 1am, will there be a way to just purchase tickets at the venue for that individual show? i dont HAVE to HAVE a cmj pass, do i?

no, you can buy tickets to individual events.  check the website of the venue for further details (ticketmaster.com might also be helpful).

you should check the living room website From what I can tell - i dont think its a badge holders only show.
 
 if you wanna guarantee yourself a ticket - buy it early if possible. if not - get there early and buy a ticket. as far as i know it should guarantee you admittance - at any time (do not mark my word on it - each club has their own 'rules').  
 
 btw - living room sells their tix on ticketweb. nothing is yet listed for david garza. but it seems it might be a day of type deal (or day before) as to when tix go on sale. i did notice this (the age thing) which could be important?? i think living room is 21+ all the time - if that helps

 so far ive had no problems getting into any shows. they were all free tonight that i went to and saw some awesome bands. im officially blown away by this years festival and some of the bands. for anyone in town - do NOT miss cut off your hands. by far the show to see. division day never disappoints as well. for coldplay/keane-lite you may wanna check out london's own air traffic.
 
 and if youre coming up here on saturday you may want to consider checking out some of the day shows (they are all free, as far as i know). there are so many that most bands you wanted to see might have a day show (this includes brooklyn also). i cant wait for tomorrow. so many f'ing bands starting at 2pm onwards. ok must get some sleep.
 
 hope some of that helped.

care bears on fire?
 
 just curious if anyone has seen them or are familiar with their music. they seem to have a lot of buzz - and im quite impressed with the numbers of bands that have young kids in them. tiny masters of today, smoosh, etc.

Wow, that makes me laugh a little.  I used to work with one of the father of one of the kids, and he used to pepper me with questions about the music industry all the time.  I never took the idea seriously that his 10-year old daughter's band might be legitimate, let alone start garnering buzz.
 
 From what I've heard on their MySpace page, I'm even more surprised with the buzz.  Not that interesting.
 
 My sense is that this is just one of those periods of time when novelty kid acts get popular.  Remember Old Skull?  I hear they became a jazz trio in later years.

The father and the mother were there. They seemed a bit overkill - but then again I have to remember that they're kids. He was running around like a madman with his head cut off. He plowed me into - and at least apologized profusely. All I can say is - I loved The Hot Iqs (who were on after Care Bears on Fire).
