It’s the last day of CMJ, and you can get just about the best summary of what it’s all been about at the Bowery Ballroom tonight, where a stellar lineup of bands from New York, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, and California cover the musical spectrum of the current indie world. The fun, frantic Static Jacks get things going at 4:30 with their fourth show at the festival, followed by MA.Mentor, Braids, Fake Problems, Lord Huron, and Lia Ices. Things kick into high gear with the Lower Dens at 9:15, who were impressive Thursday night at Santos Party House, concluding most songs with strong experimental meanderings. At 10:00, Jack Tatum’s one-man band, Wild Nothing, takes the stage, with DOM up next, who have been proving at CMJ that they’ve grown tremendously since their Siren set this past summer. The evening finishes up with the dreamy double bill of Neon Indian at midnight and Surfer Blood at 1:00, two of the hottest bands on the indie scene. Be sure to show up early and just stay cemented in your spot, because it’s gonna be packed.
