The 2012 CMJ Music Marathon continues Wednesday, the second of five days of hundreds of bands from all kinds of genres playing venues all over the city, in addition to panel discussions and conferences on the state of the industry. This year there is no film-festival component, which is too bad, but there are plenty of concerts, and you don’t have to have a badge to get in; the majority of CMJ shows are less than ten bucks for the general public, and badge entry is often limited. There are not as many major acts as there have been in recent years, as the marathon is getting back to its purer, more indie roots, although the legendary Johnny Winter will be at B.B. King’s. Here are our recommendations for Wednesday, October 17.
Let’s Get Messy! Showcase: Fantasy Rainbow (7:30), Trapper Scheopp & the Shades (8:15), Laura Stevenson & the Can (9:00), Roomrunner (9:45), Pretty & Nice (10:30), Archie Powell & the Exports (11:15), Twin Tigers (12 midnight), the Rock Shop
