Philly is set to conquer New York this weekend. As the indie hemorrhage that is the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival packs up its Ray-Bans and nose candy and gets ready to leave Greenwich Village, Philly music showcase CMJAWN comes to town and shows them how it’s done in this part of the Northeast. The late-night, all-Philly party features performances by spacy psych-pop band The Cobbs, genre-bending hip-hop-meets-pop-and-rock act Nouveau Riche and, one of my personal favorites, The War on Drugs, whose lead singer (pictured) sounds more like Bob Dylan than Bob Dylan does now. Rock Tits will be DJing all night, or at least until the City of Brotherly Love lovefest ends early Sunday morning.

If you’re still battling an addiction to Monster Energy Drink thanks to last spring’s POPPED! Festival, you might want to start looking into Chinatown bus schedules: this event will be like a bite-sized POPPED! and help raise funds for POPPED!: Part Deux, taking place in June. It’s road trip time.
