Unfortunately I just missed <strong>Marnie Stern<\/strong> who I wanted to check out. Taking under 10 minutes to set up, the <strong>Vivian Girls<\/strong> shyly took the stage to play their lo-fi surf punk noise. I&#8217;ve developed a huge crush on Cassie and her spaced out demeanor. She even retorted that she wanted to marry me after I yelled at her during their set. Enjoyable set.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crystal Antlers<\/strong> is a band you need to see live to fully appreciate them. The sonic spectrum these guys from long beach is impressive. Blending psych, lo-fi, prog and punk into a an energetic set of future music. There was complete chaos on stage but somehow they pulled off an entertaining show with promise of good things to come from them.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn\u2019s <strong>A Place to Bury Strangers<\/strong> combine classic rock with dark metal to create heavy atmospheres of sound. Although mostly guitar driven their experimental approach to distorted sound adds a heavier and evil slant but never going to far into hell. The best show I&#8217;ve seen these guys play thusfar and wanted to just curl up in their reverb finale. A perfect end to CMJ, now it&#8217;s time to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.doublehalo.com\/pictures2008\/vivianGirls.html\">Pictures<\/a> from the show<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/viviangirlsnyc.blogspot.com\/\">http:\/\/viviangirlsnyc.blogspot.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/crystalantlers\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/crystalantlers<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aplacetoburystrangers.com\/\">http:\/\/www.aplacetoburystrangers.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After seeing Kirsten earlier in the day I decide to continue the noise rock of the day by closing things off at the late show at Bowery.
