Too often in NYC music, one ends up chasing the big acts & the hyped acts, since they all play NYC sooner or later (usually sooner).  This leaves little time to catch everybody else – and that’s where CMJ 2012 comes in.  With a ton of acts playing a ton of dates at a ton of places Tuesday to Saturday, October 16th to 20th, you’re bound to catch something special you never would have guessed.

QRO previews the whole big thing, both official & unofficial shows, with free & RSVPs & more:


Day 1 Day One of CMJ starts off with quantity but also some quality.

Some notes on our preview:

Not only are all official music showcases listed, but so are unofficial ones – free or RSVP.  Shows are official unless otherwise indicated by “(unofficial)”, “(free)”, or “(RSVP)”; free & RSVP shows are unofficial unless otherwise indicated with “(official)”.  Shows listed as “(official/RSVP)” require either a badge or RSVP, not both.
If only the start time is known, all bands listed under that start time.  Bands listed in order of appearance, or roughest guess/alphabetical order if not known.
* denotes that the venue is in the Bowery area of Manhattan.
# denotes that the venue is in Williamsburg area of Brooklyn.

(constantly updated as so much changes, right up to the start & even during CMJ)

 

CMJ used to be a Bowery-only event, but like everything else in NYC indie-rock, it’s been moving out to Brooklyn more & more these days, and not just Williamsburg, but up & down both sides of the East River:

However, CMJ’s twin beating hearts are still in the Bowery & Williamsburg, so here’s closer maps of both area:
