October is a busy month from what schedules have already been posted. CMJ comes around in the later part of the month and many, but not all CMJ shows have been trickling out in the past few days. There’s going to be some more to come, so check back here to see what’s going to be happening.
CMJ Update: There are frequently different times listed between the websites of CMJ, the club and the performer. I’ve gone with the CMJ times whenever possible as they seem to be the earliest. Most CMJ sets are short, in some cases, as short as 20 minutes. When in doubt, check with the club before you leave.
