your guide to CMJ, Friday October 24, 2008

by Bill Pearis

Roisin Murphy
Roisin

Even if you don't have a badge, CMJ (Oct 21-25 in NYC) can be overwhelming... especially these days with the proliferation of day parties, unofficial showcases and afterparties. Running around like a crazy person trying to catch everyone you want to see can be fun, but sometimes it's not such a bad idea just to pick one place and stay there. With that in mind, I've picked one day party and one evening showcase for each of the five days, as well as late night parties where applicable. The guide to Friday (10/24) is below...

DAYTIME: The fine folks behind the Seaport Music Radio Show (on East Village Radio) have put together a great show at the performance/art space at On-the-Side @Seaport (210 Front Street). The line-up is NYC/Bejiing's Arms, two bands from Norway (Casio Kids and The Real Ones), UK indie poppers Bearsuit, Atlanta's All the Saints and two more to be named. Sure, it's Way the Hell Downtown but they're mostly bands that aren't playing a lot of other shows, and it's a neat space. (More Info)

6:15PM All The Saints (Atlanta)
5:30PM Casiokids (Norway)
4:45PM Real Ones (Norway)
4:00PM Bearsuit (UK)
3:15PM Loose Limbs (Brooklyn)
2:30PM Kirsten Ketsjer (Denmark)
1:45PM Arms And Legs (Beijing/NYC)

EVENING: While I'll be stuck at Mansion drinking $9 beers waiting to see if Roisin Murphy is going to go on anywhere near her schduleded 9:15 set time, I recommend anyone else with interest in dance music head to Irving Plaza for a night of well-curated artists. UK's Late of the Pier have made one of the years best, weirdest major label debuts; The Whip are are fun if a bit cheesy; and Soulwax are simply one of the best live dance acts on the planet. In-between, BBC-1's Rob da Bank spins, with a late-night sets from Pete Tong and Soulwax's alter-egos 2manydjs.

LATE NIGHT: Brooklyn's Cheeseburger are playing a lot of shows during CMJ but I am told on good authority that if you attend only one, make it this one (the late part of the Kemado CMJ showcase) as they are planning something wild. Supposedly it the show will be themed around Superjail, the Adult Swim show which Cheeseburger performs the theme song and was co-created by guitarist Christy Karacas. Be prepared for wildness.

Any thoughts on set times for Broken Social Scene?

I'd make her a lemon curd pie, fix her up an apple-tini [not too strong], put on Iron & Wine, and only make a move if she did first.

Why do they make us choose between Roisin Murphy and BSS?

Damn schedule makers....

Posted by Anonymous | October 24, 2008 11:51 AM

bss plays new york like every month. roisin murphy hasnt played new york since, well ever. not exactly a tough choice.

still fifty bucks for a show thats probably going to last half an hour if we're lucky, is pushing it.

Posted by Anonymous | October 24, 2008 11:56 AM

i was told BSS will actually go on at 9:30. not sure about how long, or what time LoT goes on.

They are saying Roisin is on at "9:30 sharp"... as to being all-ages, Mansion is some sort of bottle service type club...would think 21+ but my ticket doesn't say one way or the other.

Jens Lekman is only playing a DJ set at Bell House. It's called Jens Lekman "The Singing DJ." I saw him do this same act at the MHOW the other day. It was kind of a waste, b/c he only sings about two songs in 45 minutes.
