so here's what jason @ product shop nyc had to say about the show on friday:
Thank you to everyone who attended A Night Out With Product Shop NYC at Studio B on Friday, November 3rd. The night was such an amazing success and the crowd was absolutely on fire. I especially want to thank all the bands that played, all of whom tore it up!

Echo Station started off the evening with their ultra-tight hook-filled rock n' roll, that included their soon-to-be hit single "Let's Go Steady, Debbie." The Brooklyn Playboys proved to be one of the countries best bluegrass outfits. Ferraby Lionheart was fantastic with his sailor-folk-troubadour songs that proved to be one of the highlights of this entire CMJ Festival. Birdmonster had some technical difficulties but proved their buzz to be more than worthy with a fighting set of powerful pop music that continues to win them a larger and larger audience. Sam Champion fucking rocked like the future rock stars they will one day become. Ra-Ra Riot threw down for an energetic set that ended with a cover of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love."

While it's impossible for me to say one band was better than all the rest, The Thermals clearly owned the night. They got the crowd going fucking mental. And deservingly so. They were so freaking killer. In a super tight forty-five minute set, they blasted their way through a plethora of tracks that got people dancing and throwing their fists in the air. It was splendid. I was in awe. The crowd was in heaven. The band were super pleased. All in all, it was Thermaltastic!

At round 1:50am, The Horrors finally took the stage for the final set of the night. While it took them an hour plus to take the stage, which led them to lose quite a bit of the exhausted crowd, they still played a fantastically zany set to a crowd of almost two hundred. They broke a light, tore a curtain, attacked the crowd, and by the end of their twenty-two minute set had two burly security guards on stage with them. So yes, The Horrors did what they do best. They came. They bitched. The banged. They rocked. They broke shit. They left.

A big thank you to all the bands, managers, publicists, and agents who helped make Product Shop NYC's "unofficial" CMJ party a reality. I also want to send some love to Marc Spitz and DJ Del for spinning some killer music between bands. I especially want to thank Justine and Joady at Studio B for being such wonderful people to work with and for putting together such an awesome crew. I would also like to send a big thank you to PSNYC's own 3xWes for working so hard on the evening. And especially, thanks to everyone who came to show and helped promote it. You all rule........
