NickyDigital.com’s 2011 Official UNOFFICIAL CMJ Showcase on October 19, 2011!

Throughout the year we at NickyDigital.com try and bring you access to the best parties and events … in person if you live in NYC and via the interweb if we aren’t neighbors.

Each year we are extremely excited to cover and partake in the CMJ festival. It’s a chance for us to showcase some of our favorite talent and to have more of our international audience in town to experience it first hand.

AND this year is no exception! We have hand picked a selection of our favorite emerging acts from this past year and put them all on one bill! As if that wasn’t good enough, our showcase is completely FREE to everyone if you RSVP!

A big special thanks to Hendrick’s Gin and PBR who will be supplying the open bar to keep you smiling ALL night long! Make sure you RSVP below for details!

FREE MP3: Clubfeet | Teenage Suicide

  CLUBFEET
Melbourne, Australia
and Cape Town, South Africa


We’ve got Clubfeet and we’re proud of it!

How a "holy union of five sons of Melbourne and Capetown" can call themselves something that sounds like a hellish congenital deformity and still be sexy and appealing, we’ll never really understand. Every track from this dark disco-pop quintet can float seamlessly from daytime playtime to the dim, dusky corners of the nightclub, but where Clubfeet’s jams really live is the dancefloor. These guys are no strangers to buzz, having picked up a 7.7 on Pitchfork for their Gold on Gold long player, but while new fans my come for the hype, they stay for the hooks.

Cram those club feet into your dancing shoes and show us what they’re made of with Clubfeet at Nicky Digital’s CMJ showcase!

     

Decades   DECADES
Brooklyn, New York


Sometimes, a band challenges the constitution of your being, forcing you to examine the contents of your character–every moral fiber–and then re-examine them again. Other times, a band does cool things with guitars and drums and bass and vocals that sound really nice in your earholes. Decades is the latter.

Hailing from BK, these young whippersnappers “are not reinventing the wheel so much as making it roll with ease” and, hey, you can’t be mad at that!

Don’t miss Decades at Nicky Digital’s CMJ showcase so you can hop on the bandwagon before it gets too full! And with this indie rock foursome onboard, you know it’s going to be smooth rolling …

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma


Halloween is just around the corner, which is why we hand-picked Gosteffects to play our CMJ showcase! JK ROFL, we actually picked him because he’s a massively talented DJ/producer/electro artist who got us wiggling in our seats a mere 5 seconds into his soundcloud preview.

Despite only having one 6-minute-long track to his name, this Nu-goth Nu-York transplant has already hit the top of Hype Machine’s Twitter charts. While the rest of the blogosphere (ick, sorry…) patiently awaits the release of Gosteffects’ first single, “Kick the Bass,” on Sex Cult Records, we’re giving you a head start with a chance to catch him kick the party into the afterlife live at our Nicky Digital CMJ showcase this Wednesday!

     

Devi Mambouka of JOGYO   JOGYO
Brooklyn, New York


What’s in a name? For rising world beat electro duo JOGYO, everything.

Translated from Sanskrit as “Pure thoughts or stillness among action”, JOGYO’s electrifying beats flow through influences ranging from Tribal to Samba to Reggae to Hardcore without losing the thumping 2-step that drives them. Dru Barnes and Devi Mambouka‘s culturally varied upbringings and world views are evident in their music; we don’t know quite what to call it, but we sure as hell know we’ve never heard anything like it before.

Riding on the smash hit success of their recently released debut single “Rude Boy”, JOGYO will be kicking it to a new level at Nicky Digital’s CMJ showcase!

     

SPF 5000EXTRA CREDIT: Download SPF 5000′s Exlusive Pre Party Jamz Mix Tape for FREE!   SPF 5000
Boston, Massachusetts


Amy Douglas and Rob Phillips of SPF 5000 are two New Yorkers turned Bostonians, but we won’t hold it against them as long as they keep pumping out nasty, funky, scuzz-pop scorchers. With an extensive backstory that covers everything from backing Drag Queens to fronting Metal bands, Douglas and Phillips have finally found their niche with SPF 5000′s raunchy, infectious sound.

Following a bevy of acclaimed mixes, collabs, EPs, and September’s P.O.T.S. release on Top Billin’, SPF 5000 will make their searing debut on Nervous Records‘ nu-disco imprint label, Nurvous, this October with their track "Paraiso."

Come get crass with this bawdy two-some at Nicky Digital’s CMJ showcase, but remember: don’t forget your SPF 5000 at home, because this duo is white-hot!


VHS or BETAEXTRA CREDIT: Stream VHS or BETA’s brand new LP, Diamonds and Death for FREE!   VHS or BETA
Louisville, KY


We fell in love with electro duo VHS or Beta long before they dropped their most recent release, Diamonds and Death, but it goes without saying that the their latest dark disco doozy did nothing but add fuel to the fire.

Given their keen sixth sense for perfectly matching the energy of any room, as well as an inclination towards jams that force you to throw inhibition to the wind, we couldn’t be more excited to have these dudes DJing between sets and inspiring people get weird on the dancefloor. Don’t miss them spinning at our Nicky Digital CMJ showcase! Just remember to leave your notion of “personal space” at the door…
