Last night the wife and I went to MHOWilliamsburg for good great music and funny hilarious comedy (except for the MCs). Put together last minute by Brooklyn Vegan and Bowery Presents to help with the relief of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the lineup and show were both top notch.

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.
