A new camera and the wrong type of converter (plus an upcoming wedding...mine) severely hampered my posting of CMJ pics and reviews this week.  Sucks getting this up so late but I guess better late than never.

I kicked off CMJ Tuesday night at the Bowery Ballroom at Brooklyn Vegan's Official CMJ Showcase.  Leading up to the night I was most excited to see Miracle Fortress for the first time.  Then this happened.  But the show must - and did - go on. 

Canadian band The Most Serene Republic were  for me the highlight of the night; their sound brought a smile to my face and some pep in my step.  Bon Iver was mesmerizing.  Shaky Hands was...well...shaky.   Rosebuds did their dancey rock vibe thing; that was kind cool.  Dean & Britta....Britta....Britta....see pic above....Britta.  Rounding out the night was Voxtrot.  First time catching them; really enjoyed the set.

Stereogum has a good review some pics.
