Jess and Holly from Lucius sat down with Adam 12 before their Boston Calling set on Sunday. We’re live from City Hall Plaza all weekend long, powered by Xfinity.
This past week, it was announced that Seth Meyers’ show will only feature two musical performances a week. This makes some sense, as Fallon’s show is very music heavy, and Letterman routinely freaks out over certain musical performances as well. It doesn’t make a ton of sense though, seeing as music has always been an essential part of late night television. Hopefully the show will find other ways to make up for its musical void.

It’s cool if you weren’t able to score tickets to fast sellers like Phantogram and King Krule. Not only are there a bunch of good local shows this weekend, but there’s an award ceremony dedicated to Boston music that features some local performances, as well.

When critics weren’t writhing over its debut album, they were shamelessly panting for its release. “Wildewoman” was worth the hype and then some, and the band made a sizable impression at Boston Calling.

These are a few of our favorite things from CMJ 2013, and they were well worth lapping between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan over the course of the past few long, loud days. More
