Rumblefish At CMJ Music Festival
WOW! That’s what I’ve got to say about being at CMJ. Though it doesn’t appear that she’s being represented, let me assure you that Rebecca totally agrees with me, she just told me.So last night we had the pleasure of seeing multiple amazing bands and catalog hopefuls. Started out the evening seeing a great showcase from Blueghost PR that consisted of all south of the border bandsâ??Mexican Hipsters if you willâ??that played raucous electro and punk. Then we jetted over to Mercury Lounge just in time to catch the last few songs from proggy, krautrockish electronica importers Fujiya & Miyagi, who were in town from the UK. They were followed by our very own catalog members Walter Meego, who took to the stage and gave the crowd a religious experience. Upon seeing their live show, it’s totally understandable why they’re currently such a buzz band; not since the heyday of the Police have three gents made such a beautiful noise. Then we caught Sebastian Granger (he of MSTRKRFT and DFA1979 fame) & The Mountains’ set, and then bolted over to Nublu for another taste of the yummy southernâ??way south, as in Brazilâ?? musical cuisine.In short, it was a globe-trotting kind of day, during which we got to sample the sounds of at least three continents. And to think we only had to fly to New York to enjoy to such international flavor?!
