Marnie Stern - Live Footage and Interview from CMJ, NYC. Oct. '10

The good folks at BAL have just released some killer live and interview footage with Marnie Stern that they recorded during CMJ.



"Among the absurd litany of bands playing CMJ, it’s often hard to find an act that balances the industrious, play-all-shows possible spirit with a track record and the talent to go along with it. Enter Marnie Stern, who with her killer band in tow has been dropping heat on wax for 3 solid years now. Marnie is not a typical CMJ act – she’s not a 21 year-old synth-pop artist trying to break, her name doesn’t suck, and her music exudes a confidence and comfort not easily found among the hundreds of disposable acts at CMJ." (from BAL's article about the video)
