CMJ: Takka Takka, Women and more

After an early morning visit to the CMJ Artist Lounge where we got Theresa Anderson dancing in the stairwell (and saw some interesting remnants of the night before - watch the video), I headed out to catch some music. I walked in at the end of Shugo Tokumaru's set. He's one of the CMJ "buzz" artists and, according to Wall Street Journal writer Jim Fusilli, it's totally justified. Jim think he may be the most impressive artist he sees at CMJ and it is only day 2!

We ran into Women (who are all men) and grabbed them for a quick chat. This is their first time playing NYC and they said they were surprised by the turnout. They were probably being modest because they also have a lot of buzz and will be playing our showcase tonight, as will Takka Takka. Nic really likes these guys and I'm really excited to see them live.

Project Jenny, Project Jan is a one MC/one DJ band but it was just what I was looking for in the late afternoon - dance music with excellent showmanship and beats.

Off to see more music...
