Mondo

The second edition of Mondo NYC, the “music festival and tech summit” that was started by CMJ founders, is coming up, happening October 4 – 8. 

“The way the show looks, the way it’s written, and the way it sounds, we try and give our show a real identity. We want people to be like, ‘Well that’s like Master of None music.'”

As mentioned, long-running NYC indie pop dance party Mondo will be saying goodbye this Saturday (9/19) at Cameo. Having spent many a Friday and/or Saturday dancing to The Smiths, New Order, northern soul, girl groups, and more over the last decade (I even got to guest DJ once in 2009), I am sad to see Mondo go, but 11 years is a long time for anything like this to continue and many props to Maz, Kevin and Miss Modular for their enthusiasm…

UPDATE: It’s official… Cameo will close on November 21. More changes to the Williamsburg club scene. Though no official announcement has been made (and, update: the club say it’s not true), we hear (and have been hearing for a while) that Cameo Gallery will be closing soon…

Day 3 of NYC Popfest (Saturday 5/31) has something for just about everyone — including those with not a lot of extra money — with a free day show at Spike Hill and an evening show a couple blocks away at Cameo…
