And here you thought the iPhone 6S was going to be the biggest announcement of the day. CMJ just dropped the initial lineup for this year’s music marathon, coming up October 13 and 17. Among the neon-worthy highlights: local label Neon Gold will be doing a showcase while Neon Indian will be performing cuts off of his first album in four years, due out next month. Local favorites like Titus Andronicus, LODRO, The Men, and Juan Wauters are in the mix, and the international acts range from Australian rapper Allday to Belgian indie rock band Balthazar to Norwegian psych rockers Death By Unga Bunga. Mercury Rev will be repping the old guard while Perfect Pussy is among the more recent breakout acts.
