CMJ Preview: Day 3!!!

Best Bets: Day Shows
NYCTaper Showcase @ Cake Shop, 3pm- 7pm
If you've ever checked out the NYCTaper site then you'll know that the man behind it has done a fantastic job recording and cataloging some of the best that the live scene has to offer in New York City. This past summer he did a great job recording sets at the After the Jump Fest and now he's doing his own thing with a nice showcase at Cake Shop. For those not at CMJ I'd suggest hitting up his site next week or sometime after that to hear some awesome sets from the week!
