Brooklyn Vegan CMJ Parties Part 2 – 10.20.12

If you didn’t make sure you check out my post from Day 1 of the Brooklyn Vegan CMJ parties. Day two was more of the same… tons of rad bands at Public Assembly from noon to six and then an after party at St. Vitus from 8 until they kicked us out.

The big difference on Saturday was the free Sailor Jerry tattoos. Starting at 10am people started lining up to get a chance to throw a dart at a dart board to determine what free Sailor Jerry tattoo they would get permanently tattooed to their body.  Seriously, about 50 people got actual tattoos on them based on throwing a dart at a dart board. Matty No Times and Jeremy Sutton from Three Kings came by and did one after another all day. It was pretty amazing. I have a lot of Sailor Jerry tattoos myself but I don’t think I would have the balls to just throw a dart…

As far as the bands that played you can check out the line up here. Everyone was super psyched for Miguel for some reason. It’s not that he wasn’t good, I just don’t get why a bunch of Brooklyn scene kids would smash themselves into a back room for an R&B singer who went on an hour late. Meanwhile I bounced to the other room to check out Brooklyn’s own Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire who rocked a smaller crowd a lot harder. Other highlights were Hunters, Endless Summer  (fronted by a girl I went to high school with) and Kitty Pryde who was pretty mindblowing. Also this Ratking band I am pretty sure my band played with in Harlem.

After that over at St. Vitus there was the Brooklyn Vegan – BBG official CMJ Showcase. BBG is the heavy metal blogger for Brooklyn Vegan and shit got real, real metal. You can check out the line up for that event here. I don’t know enough about metal created after 1992 to talk about the line up so I’m just gonna let you look at the pictures and I am going to go to a pumpkin patch with my girlfriend because halloween is metal as fuck. (For what it’s worth my favorite band was Royal Thunder.)
