Local band to play CMJ Music Marathon in New York
Every autumn CMJ (College Music Journal) magazine hosts one of the world’s largest music and film festivals in New York City.
This year’s festival is scheduled for October 16th - 20th and will feature hundreds of bands from across the country including such big names as Spoon, Mates of State, Islands, British Sea Power, Meat Puppets, and Mike Kinsella. (get full list at www.cmj.com)
This year will also feature Dayton’s own young and talented sonic-alt-rock band Halos Were Found At the Landing Site.
Through a bulletin posted on the band’s myspace page (myspace.com/haloswerefoundatthelandingsite) they announced they would be “invading New York” in order to “take part” in the CMJ music Marathon.
Halo’s buzz is louder than ever not only because of their upcoming showcase for CMJ, but also because of their new distribution deal with Yuzu Music.
Fans cannot get enough of the Hum meets Minus the Bears energetic 4-piece. The band even created a second myspace page (myspace.com/demoswerefoundatthelandingsite) just so hungry fans could listen to their practices and demos and get a sense of the band’s new material.
The band is playing two area shows to gear up for the jaunt to New York. They will be at the Poison Room in Cincinnati on October 6th and at the Rumba Cafe in Columbus on October 12th.

This is a big deal. I hope that people realize this. CMJ has exposed a lot of bands to a larger audience. Let’s hope they can capitalize on this!
