A Yep Rocin' CMJ

Liam Finn kept me busy last week, with three CMJ shows in three days. He kicked things off at a New Zealand music showcase Wednesday at The Delancey. Flight of the Conchords manager Murray Hewitt MC'd the show, and was so impressed he asked that "a cassette" of Liam's new album be sent over to his office. I'll get right on that, Murray.

Liam had jaws on the floor with his incredible one-man-band performance, involving intricate guitar and theremin loops paired with some totally off-the-rails drumming.

He then played the last two shows I'll ever see at Mo Pitkins, on Thursday and Friday. Godspeed, Mo. We'll miss you.

As luck would have it, another Shore Fire client - Brian Crosby, guitarist for Irish superstars Bell X1 - was in the audience on Friday. Here's a shot of Liam and Brian having a hang after the show.
