A group of great guys, Memphis Pencils trekked all the way from Arkansas to perform at CMJ. I saw them around the city multiple times throughout the week, really living and loving the New York/ CMJ experience. Check out this performance and if you haven’t seen it yet be sure to check out the interview we did with a Martin and Andrew.

Happy Halloween everyone! With all the ghouls and ghosts afoot today we thought it would be appropriate to assemble a little (un)holiday inspired playlist. First up, is the video above, “A Day In The Life” from Love In October (how appropriate…) brings us killer costumes and an attempted killer…
Moving onto the playlist…
1.) The Ascetic Junkies, with a poppy take on everyones’ favorite bloodsucker, “Dracula”.
2.) The Novel Ideas, wonder what it would be like to be another’s lost soul in, “I’ll Be Your Ghost”
3.) If you had a “Late Night Halloween Beach Party” which demons and denizens would show up?
4.) “Hell’s October” is a foreboding title that captures the aura of foreboding surrounding Halloween.
5.) “Zombies” on Halloween aren’t as scary as the zombies always around us.
6.) A comical take on Hallows Eve, Mark Kaufman brings us a “Dead Sexy” tune about an “undying love…”
Everybody loves a good holiday tie-in, and we’re no different here at OurStage. So for Halloween we give you a musical tribute to famed horror director George Romero. “Ghouls and Ghosts” from BAK XIII is an electro-pop-deathrock warning that zombies are after your brains. Happy Halloween everyone!
