6:00pm – Yip Deceiver (DJ set – first hour and between all bands)
7:00pm – Cut Copy (listening session)
8:00pm – Conway
9:00pm – Lucius
10:00pm – Cults
11:00pm – Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

The New York Times described Lucius as “The next Feist” (QRO live review) – even if you don’t believe everything The Grey Lady says, be sure to check them out (QRO photos at a festival).

When Cults (QRO photos) broke out in 2010 with infectious single “We Go Outside”, they’d achieved the near impossible: being famous without anyone knowing anything about them (QRO photos). Since then, the wall of silence has broken down (QRO photos), with the catchy sixties male/female duo recruiting a band (QRO photos at a festival), playing South-by-Southwest (QRO photos), and signing to major label Sony for 2011’s Cults (QRO review). But even if you’ve got a face (QRO photos) to put to the un-Google-able name (QRO photos at a festival), they’re still a hook-laden band (QRO photos at a festival), who come to CMJ behind their just-out follow-up, Static.

Detroit’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. (QRO photos at a festival) combined electro-rock with endorsement-patched jumpsuits (QRO photos) on 2011 debut, It’s a Corporate World (QRO review) – though they dress more regular (QRO photos at a festival) for follow-up, The Speed of Things, out the week before CMJ begins.
