Shows of the Week

Duuuude, yo, bro... CMJ Fest is upon us. There's no way I could unlock my jaw wide enough to get around everything going on this week, but I've done my best. Many listings below are showcase type events, so you've been warned. Still, plenty of goodies to be had before the dang hippies go home.

Enjoy!
