Day 2 of CMJ 2010 brought me to Bowery Electric where I was treated to a set from Smile Smile. Smile Smile’s music is simple, catchy and really nice alt-pop that can easily be heard on the indie station and the adult contemporary station. Basically Smile Smile is a band both you and your mom can enjoy.

Feeling the need to get my hard/punk groove on I headed over to The Cake Shop to see Freshkills and they did not disappoint. The band played a hard rockin’, blistering and very sexy set, giving CMJ the much needed punk shot in the arm it often times lacks.

From Cake Shop I headed to The Pure Volume House where I enjoyed a complementary beer and heard Oh Land from Copenhagen, Denmark play. Oh Land does electropop music right, so much so that I was inspired to get up and dance but decided to spare the other revelers my Elaine-like moves. On a fashion note, the lead singer was fabulous in a glammed out hat and pair of boots. Due to my allergy attack in the Pure Volume House, I had to cut my CMJ night two short at around 9:30pm and headed home. Till tomorrow friends!
