This past Saturday, StereoactiveNYC had it's second official CMJ Music Marathon showcase. The show doubled as our five year anniversary celebration and featured some of our very favorite bands currently playing in NYC and Brooklyn. The night was a big success - thanks so much to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and support the bands that played. One of the bands that played was The Art Of Shooting . They're a band we've been following for years now and we've seen them go through a number of changes during that [...]

above: EAR FARM's CMJ Music Marathon 2008 slideshow If a comparison needs to be made between Austin's South by Southwest and New York's CMJ Music Marathon , let it begin and end with the simple fact that SXSW is the far superior music festival/conference experience.

If you've been reading EAR FARM for a while, you'll remember The Art Of Shooting from the long long ago . Last year their Tyrants Black Eyes EP was stuck in my iPod for a long time and I do declare that "Lost in Boredom" was one of the best songs of 2005. The Art of Shooting brings wonderfully dissonant rock with vocals along the lines of Chrissie Hynde/Siouxsie Sioux and one of the best drummers in all of NYC. If you're a fan of an updated [...]
