As we stated before, there is far far more to CMJ than our little series of parties. Over 1000 bands were in town last week, and while nobody could possibly catch them all, the idea is to see as much as you can and maybe discover a few new favorites. Rather than scrape together a drab roundup of the day by day, we decided to award certain aspects of CMJ for making a mark on......

A gazillion thanks to everyone who came out to support all the excellent bands who played The Gothamist House at The White Rabbit this weekend! We had a total blast putting it all together and watching it all play out more perfectly than we could have ever imagined. Our highlights of the three days are too many to mention right here, but the number of bands saying things like "We've never done anything like this"......

Home stretch! Today is the final day to swing by The White Rabbit and check out our little home we've been chilling at all during CMJ. You know the drill by now...Free to come, Happy Hour all day and great music, non-stop. 145 East Houston between Eldridge and Forsyth. Here's the lineup for today: 2:15 - The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers (Listen at Myspace) 3:00 - Judah Johnson (myspace) 3:45 - The......

Thanks everyone so much for coming by and supporting all the unbelievable bands we had at The House yesterday. It really played out just as we could have ever imagined/hoped it would. Can't wait to get it all going again today! Here's the lineup for this afternoon. Same deal as before...The White Rabbit on 145 East Houston Between Eldridge and Forsyth. Completely free to attend. Stop on by anytime and say hi! Friday: Hayes Peebles......

After months of preparation, the first day of The Gothamist House at The White Rabbit is finally here! Surely you know the drill by now...Great bands, cheap drinks, thanks to the White Rabbit extending their Happy Hour throughout the day, and completely, no strings attached free to attend. So swing by the spot at 145 East Houston (Between Eldridge and Forsyth) and come say hi! Below is the lineup for today. Two quick programming notes:......

Today is officially the first day of CMJ! Starting this afternoon and going strong through the weekend, every music club in the city is going to be jam packed with hours upon hours of the hottest up and coming bands from all over the world. Seeing that we'd expect your regular Gothamist reader won't be equipped with a $500 badge, we decided to highlight some of the standout free events this week. While you will......

(pic via bunnygrrrl's flickr) Well, this is it. Next Friday's lineup at the White Rabbit. We've already posted Thursday and Saturday's shows, and here is the last one. Friday afternoon from 2-8. Come hang out and see all these great bands playing acoustic or stripped down sets with us. As with the rest of the days, the show is completely free, open to the public, and there is no badge or wristband or RSVP or......

Jeez, CMJ is only a week away! We have already announced the Saturday lineup for our unofficial CMJ day party, and now we'd like to give you the bands scheduled for next Thursday, November 2nd. All the shows will be at The White Rabbit on East Houston, and all the bands are preparing acoustic, or otherwise stripped down sets to perform. Shows are free to attend (21+). No badges, no cover, nothing like that.......

As we mentioned earlier, CMJ is coming up. The music marathon will take over the venues and downtown streets from October 31st through November 4th. It's basically like any other night in the city, but with more free Red Stripe and Sparks. CMJ has posted the official showcase schedule, it's a lot to take in. We enjoy the unofficial shows and parties too, so If you have any of those you'd like to submit for......

We mentioned a little while back that we will be holding a series of day parties while CMJ is going on. With only a few weeks to go, we'd like to officially announce the lineup for the Saturday show, which will run from 2 till 8pm on November 4th at the White Rabbit on East Houston street. Each of the bands will perform a special acoustic or otherwise stripped down set. As we mentioned......

We here at Gothamist have been working long and hard to put together something very special this year for CMJ. The annual music marathon that takes over the hipper parts of our city every Autumn is right around the corner, and we've got some very exciting news to share. This year, from Thursday, November 2nd through Saturday the 4th, we will be hosting a series of unofficial day parties at The White Rabbit on......

Earlier this year at SXSW we helped with a new party called Awesome, Inc. It was a lot of fun, and this year, it continues (without our help, but with our support!) at CMJ. If you're in a band, you can get in on the action. Awesome, Inc along with imeem are holding a contest that would allow the winner to play their Dia De Los Muertos party during CMJ! If you win, you'd be......
