Yeah, I know its some pretty silly hyperbole, but really. This show is amazing. We’ve done a bunch of CMJ shows over the years and they’ve all been special in their own way (Sharon Van Etten solo in 2008), some were even just downright great (White Fence and Widowspeak back to back in 2011), some just crazy fun (She Keeps Bees and Diamond Rings back to back 2010), but this year’s show is just truly superb from start to finish.
If you don’t believe me, at least believe our press. This is by far the best press an NYCTaper CMJ has ever received — this is head-spinning stuff:
Time Out New York raved about Purling Hiss and us — “the Philly crew headlines a fun-sounding day party sponsored by indefatigable DIY show-recordist NYC Taper”
Flavorpill calls Purling Hiss a “choicest pick”
AM-NY called Purling Hiss a “Band To Watch”
WKDU-Philadelphia says that Purling Hiss and Amanda X are “not to miss”
The Guardian lists Amanda X as one of “19 Bands To See”
Deli Magazine is psyched to see The Kickback
doNYC loves the Whiskey Bitches
UnRecorded’s “Top Picks” for CMJ 2014 includes Mainland
Music Host Network lists Mainland as “Top Bands to See”
QRO Magazine “recommends” our show

Gothamist’s Best of CMJ 2014 “Cheat Sheet” lists our show first on Thursday
Hype Machine “recommends” our show as the best blog shows of 2014
Impose Magazine lists our show as “The Best of CMJ 2014”
brooklynvegan lists our show among the choice selections for “What’s Going On Thursday”, calling Purling Hiss “awesome”.
Oh yeah, and beer. We’re happy that Sixpoint Brewery is again sponsoring our show. That basically means that our guests can consume large quantities of Sixpoint for free if you get there early, or for half-price ($3) if you slack off and get to Cake Shop late.
