FANATIC | CMJ 2008 | OFFICIAL SHOWCASE | FACEBOOK
Tampa’s Yo! Majesty (MYSPACE) will headline the company’s showcase at the Blender Theater (127 E. 23rd St. [MAP]) on Saturday, October 25th in support of their debut album for Domino Records Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid. The Fanatic showcase could be one of the last times that anyone will get to see this controversial rap duo on stage together as all of the recent press on the band (see in SPIN, the NME, NYLON, and all over the UK press – read it HERE and HERE!) smacks of inner band strife. Don’t miss the unexpected!
Also on the showcase bill is one of Fanatic’s favorites: The Octopus Project from Austin, TX. The band is known for its high-intensity live shows, and on an already high-intensity bill, the group will surely take it over the top. The group just got back from playing Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits festival and today Pitchfork debuted the video for the band’s latest single “I Saw The Bright Shinies.” Watch it HERE.
Coming in from around the globe is Tel Aviv’s Monotonix (MYSPACE) and New Zealand’s Die! Die! Die! (MYSPACE), two acts that share a common proclivity for not remembering to perform on the stage! Monotonix set up on the floor, in the crowd and Die! Die! Die! doesn’t take long once their set has started to end up in the audience as well. If you haven’t seen either of these bands in a big room before – be there!
Opening the night is the Los Angeles trio The Happy Hollows (MYSPACE) and Boston’s Elizabeth Willis (MYSPACE). The LA Times says of the The Happy Hollows, “….imagine that somebody rewired the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or squeezed the Pixies into a compact-car parking space.” Not a bad way to describe this band that is about to own 2009 with its upcoming album. Elizabeth Willis will be toting a grand piano and a string section to present the songs from her upcoming debut album as the opening act on the Fanatic night. Willis has already been the subject of much industry talk about her exquisite playing, vocals and earthy, touching songs. Ludacris recently name dropped Liz in Rolling Stone Magazine (LINK) and he’s surely not going to be the last to do so. See her before everyone else does!
This event is FREE with your CMJ badge. You may also purchase tickets online HERE.
