CMJ Festival 2009 Is Here!

It’s finally here! It’s the week of CMJ Festival 2009 in NYC and it all starts tomorrow. The Big Apple will literally be bursting with more noise than usual from October 20 and through October 24. If you’re going to be in the area, make sure you do your last minute registration. You have until 6:00pm tomorrow.

After that, passes will be available onsite at the Judson Memorial Church which is located at 55 Washington Square South, between Thompson and Sullivan Streets.

Also, we assume you’re planning a schedule before you go. (It gets crazy!) So check out our top pick of LA bands who will be playing CMJ this week. We’ve got dates, locations, and times for you below!
