1st Bloodshot CMJ Showcase Postcard

Postcard from our 1st CMJ party in NYC. 1995

With unearned confidence, and a great deal of blind stupidity, we set up a show at the CMJ conference.

From the book:

“Since we had fall releases scheduled for Wreck Your Life and the Waco Brothers’ debut, full-length album, . . . To the Last Dead Cowboy, we requested a showcase at the CMJ MusicMarathon in New York City, then the industry event for indie radio, press, and distribution. They politely said no. Or maybe they just disregarded us. And why wouldn’t they? Who the hell were we? No mind. Fine, we thought, we’ll go ahead and put on our own show. During a well-established conference. With nothing but a handful of releases by unknown bands under our belt. In a city we’d never been to. Sounded perfectly reasonable.”

God, we were morons…
