The music marketing company of choice, Fanatic Promotion is pleased to announce a slew of events taking place at this year's CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. Fanatic has long been known for giving artists of tomorrow their first mainstream exposure today - Sufjan Stevens, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Convenience, Ladytron, and VHS or Beta are just a few artists to work with the company in its formative years - and once again, Fanatic will present its best and brightest.
Returning to the fun and funky East Village venue Mo Pitkins, Fanatic will host an Acoustic Afternoon on November 3rd from 2-6PM. The day will feature performers hand-picked by company founder Josh Bloom and is intended to showcase a substantial group of talented songwriter friends of Fanatic. The lineup will include fast and furious sets from Wooden Wand, Pink Nasty, Death Ships, Purrbot, Grand Mal, Peasant and Modwheelmoon. As in years past, this event will feature some fancy sponsored giveaway packages - this time comprising what Fanatic describes as its “CMJ Survival Package” featuring packs of Emergen-C (you don't want a cold during CMJ!), sleeping masks courtesy of Daylight's For The Birds (you need to rest during CMJ!), plus garments and accessories (a fresh change of clothes at CMJ!) from Onitsuka Tiger and Threadless.

More sponsors and surprises will be announced as CMJ approaches. Stay tuned.
