Hume at BV-Northside 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)

Baltimore reverberators Hume, who played the BV Northside showcase back in June, are set to head out on an extensive North American tour which kicks off later this month. That tour brings them to NYC for a stacked bill with local faves Quilt and Andrew Cedermark at Cameo Gallery on August 31. No advance tickets for this show, but $8 tix will be available at the door.

Quilt just wrapped up a tour with Young Magic which culminated in NYC at Mercury Lounge on Sunday (7/29). That show was one of four NYC shows this week and last for Louisville band Murals, who also played Pianos last Friday (7/27).

Meanwhile, you can catch Andrew Cedermark in NYC even sooner when he supports Real Estate at their upcoming Webster Hall show on August 11 with R. Stevie Moore. Tickets for that show are still available.

A list of all dates and streams from all three artists below...

Lushlife

As mentioned, Philadelphia rapper Lushlife is prepping his new mixtape, No More Golden Days, for release this October. The mixtape features Heems (of Das Racist), Cities Aviv, QueST, STS, Jabee, Sun Glitters, and Andrew Cedermark (ex Titus Andronicus). You can grab the track "Back On My Slang" ft. QueST HERE and grab the Andrew Cedermark-featured "The Romance of the Telescope" above (it makes its debut in this post). The track reworks the OMD track of the same name from 1983's Dazzle Ships. You can check out the track's artwork below.

Lushlife also has an album on the way with a guest appearance from Styles P of The Lox.

Speaking of OMD, they've got a tour coming up which includes NYC shows on September 20 and 21 at Irving Plaza. Tickets for both shows are still on sale.

The second annual Hopscotch Festival will go down in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, across 12 different venues with over 135 bands, from September 8th through 10th. The lineup this year runs the gamut of independent music... from traditional indie staples (The Flaming Lips, Guided By Voices, Superchunk) to southern-inflected rock (Drive-By Truckers) to noise (Prurient) to hip hop (Beans) to garage (Jeff The Brotherhood) to funk (Budos Band) to metal (Krallice), and everywhere in between (Swans, Rhys Chatham, etc etc). Tickets are currently on sale. Full lineup is below.

Hopscotch happens almost three months after Guided By Voices play a Brooklyn Northside Festival show in McCarren Park (tickets) which is one day after Beirut plays a Northside Festival show on the same McCarren Park stage with... Sharon Van Etten (though she may have been accidentally announced at one point, they officially kept her placement on the bill under wraps until after Saturday's Music Hall of Williamsburg show). Tickets for Beirut/SVE are still on sale, and another opener will be added too.

Guided by Voices (whose Brooklyn show also has more openers coming) are also playing Pitchfork in July with Animal Collective whose Prospect Park show is now on AmEx presale.

Swans' upcoming NYC show is now on AmEx presale too.

Hopscotch lineup below...

Lord Huron

As Bill pointed out in his DAYTIME picks, Pitchfork's #OFFLINE Festival kicks off today at Brooklyn Bowl (10/21) .

Ex-Titus Andronicus member Andrew Cedermark will appear at Pitchfork's #OFFLINE party on 10/22 (one day before Titus Andronicus play the mini fest). Andrew Cedermark also plays the Microphone Memory Emotion & Rose Quartz Showcase at Shea Stadium that same night, with Ecstatic Sunshine, Family Portrait, Street Chant, Fluffy Lumbers, and Nude Beach. You can also catch him at the Underwater Peoples showcase at Glasslands the day before (today, 10/21). Underwater Peoples will also feature appearances from The Crayon Fields, Fabulous Diamonds, Air Waves, La Big Vic, and Guy Blackman, and will kick off at 8PM.

You can also catch the Crayon Fields Saturday at our day party at Public Assembly. Titus Andronicus too.

New Jersey's Big Troubles have nothing to do with high taxes, the turnpike, or a superfluous amount of hair gel, but have a lot to do with noise-damaged shoegazey 80s-style pop. The band will play #OFFLINE on 10/22, and will also play Bruar Falls on 10/23 with Woven Bones, and Eternal Summers. The day after CMJ comes to a close (10/24) look for them at Living Room with Eternal Summers, but only if you are a young kid or parent of one. The band will also play Mercury Lounge on 11/12 with Magic Kids and Bosco Delray (tickets) in addition to dates at Shea Stadium (11/13) and Glasslands (11/21).

LA's Lord Huron is in town to play three shows. He'll play the Forcefield CMJ showcase at Pianos with The So So Glos, Wild Nothing, Woven Bones, Violens, and La Sera. Doors open at 7:45pm. The next day (10/23), the band will play the #OFFLINE show at Brooklyn Bowl, and then hit Bowery Ballroom to team up with Surfer Blood, Neon Indian, DOM, Wild Nothing, Lower Dens, Lia Ices, Fake Problems, Braids, MA.Mentor and The Static Jacks.

Wild Nothing also plays our Saturday day party. Dom and Lower Dens play the one we're doing on Friday.

Glasser kicks off a three-show CMJ run tonight (10/21)

Tonight is also the BrooklynVegan showcase at Music Hall of Williamsburg!

Matthew Dear @ MHOW in 2008 (more by Bao Nguyen)

As mentioned, Pitchfork will be hosting three days of shows at Brooklyn Bowl during, but-it-looks-like/probably completely unaffiliated with, CMJ this year (Thursday/Friday/Saturday CMJ week). "Brooklyn Bowl is located at 61 Wythe Avenue between N. 11th and N. 12th streets. The festival starts at 2 p.m. each day, with doors opening at 1 p.m. Tickets are $10, both in advance and day of the show." They're calling it the #OFFLINE Festival.

Based on the lineups and start time, it looks like each #OFFLINE day will be about a 12 hour show. No set times yet though, but the full lineups and ticket links are below...

Matthew Dear is one of the biggest names on the list (he plays Saturday), and it will be one of three CMJ week shows for Matthew. His first is Friday night at Webster Hall with Jamaica and Dominique Young Unique. His third is later on Saturday at Public Assembly for the FIXED/Making Time Party with Matthew Dear, Crocodiles, Holy Ghost!, Javelin, Gold Panda, Jamaica, and Kisses.

The FIXED/Making Time party starts after the BrooklynVegan party which is also happening at Public Assembly that same day. Just to be clear:

SATURDAY OCTOBER 23RD
* BrooklynVegan @ Public Assembly 12-6pm (free - more details TBA)
* FIXED/Making Time @ Public Assembly 9pm-late (tickets)
* Pitchfork @ Brooklyn Bowl 2pm-late (tickets)
* BrooklynVegan metal @ Union Pool 7pm-late ($5.00 or CMJ badge at the door)

We (BrooklynVegan) will also be at Public Assembly all day on Friday, October 22nd (details TBA), and at Music Hall of Williamsburg on the Thursday night.

DOWNLOAD: The Crayon Fields - All the Pleasures of the World (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: The Crayon Fields - Make Peace with Love EP (via Bandcamp)

Melbourne, Australia's chamber pop-y Crayon Fields are coming back to America for a tour that will hit NYC during the CMJ Music Marathon. While more CMJ shows will surely be announced, Crayon Fields are at least playing the Chapter Music/Underwater Peoples showcase at Glasslands on October 21 with Air Waves, Andrew Cedermark, La Big Vic, Fabulous Diamonds and Guy Blackman.

Crayon Fields have a new downloadable EP, Make Peace with Love, to coincide with the tour featuring a new song, a live version of "Graceless," a great remix of "All the Pleasures of the World" and a cover of Roxette's "It Must be Love." You can get it for the price of your email address via their Bandcamp page.

If you haven't heard last year's wonderful All the Pleasures of the World, one of my favorites of 2009, you should really rectify that. It's modern baroque pop, full of swoony strings, breathy vocals and memorable melodies. You can download the title track at the top of this post. They were terrific when I saw them at Bruar Falls back in March. Definitely try and catch them if you can.

All 2010 North American Crayon Fields dates, plus some videos, are after the jump...
