NPR Music's guide to CMJ 2011 recommends Hans Chew

NPR recommended CMJ artists

(original article below, and remember, Hans Chew performs on Friday, October 16th at 6:00pm in the West Village at Wicked Willy’s as part of the L Rock the Party Booking showcase)

As if New York City isn’t overwhelming enough for the live music fan, imagine it during CMJ’s Music Marathon, when more than 900 bands play throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn over the course of five days. Stressful.

The long list of unfamiliar acts can be intimidating. Should you catch Dinosaur Feathers, Dinosaur Bones or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs? Never fear. We’ve got your back. NPR Music asked KEXP in Seattle and the best college music directors in America to be your guide through the concrete jungle that is CMJ.

With their help, CMJ’s Music Marathon was reduced from a daunting labyrinth to … well, something like one of those corn mazes people do around Halloween. Together, we put together a mix of artists you should check out, and we’ll soon post a handy schedule of when and where they’re playing. Enjoy — and don’t stress.

Hans Chew on "Songs From the Shed"

August 18, 2011  /  Hans Chew  /  Source

Songs From the Shed is a music video website run by music lover Jon Earl.  All performances take place on his picturesque English countryside property inside of an old shed, which itself is more like an antiquarian’s curiosity shop than a storeroom for garden tools. Jon does all the camerawork himself, and dozens of bands touring the UK have stopped in for a recording session, all of which can all be seen totally for free on his website.  Thanks for the lovely early spring Sunday afternoon Jon!

See all the sessions HERE.
