Merge Night at the CMJ Music Marathon Lineup Announced!
October rolls around and it’s time to see too many bands in the space of 5 days, stay up too late, and abuse your liver repeatedly. No, I’m not reminiscing about the Merge 15-Year Anniversary back in July, I’m talking about the CMJ Music Marathon. Here’s Merge’s contribution to this year’s festivities: Appearing in reverse order at the Mercury Lounge, Wednesday, October 13:
The Arcade Fire
Lou Barlow
The Rosebuds
Richard Buckner
Shark Quest
David Kilgour
David Kilgour will go on at 8 pm, so get there early, these things ALWAYS SELL OUT and there’s nothing sadder than the sound of tears on Houston St at dusk. Click HERE for information on ordering tickets!
