CMJ is going down October 15-19, which translates to five sleep-deprived, alcohol-and-or-red-bull-and-or-whatever-else-fueled days. Here’s the insufferably long list of artists (bands really love to incorporate the word “Black” in their names). After a quick glance we see our friends Rey Pila, Grand Resort, Mariachi Flor de Toloache, Empress Of, and Clear Plastic Masks on the jam-packed roster. But we probably didn’t catch them all so let’s make a game of it. Spot the Hispanic band! The winner gets nothing! Go!
