It was the last day of CMJ 2015 and a week of long days and short night were starting to take a toll: we couldn’t make it in time to the Moniker Records showcase at Palisades, where I wanted to see [**Gel Set**](https://www.facebook.com/gelset). There will be a next time and I feel we need to visit Chicago soon anyway.

But then, at least, we were in time for [**Dilly Dally**](https://soundcloud.com/pr0files/empty-hands-99?ref=glamglare.com) at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase at [Baby’s All Right](https://soundcloud.com/pr0files/empty-hands-99?ref=glamglare.com). Fantastic! The Toronto four-piece surely woke us up. They are back in NYC for two more [shows in November](https://www.songkick.com/artists/4625663-dilly-dally/calendar?ref=glamglare.com): don’t miss them.

We wanted to move on, but then the setup of [**Stealing Sheep**](https://www.facebook.com/stealingsheep) looked quite intriguing with an array of electronic and acoustic instruments. I ended up staying for the entire set: Becky, Emily and Lucy do some synth-psychedelic weird pop with three-sided harmonies. Great stuff.

![Samantha at Black Bear](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/1ac35851-samantha-at-black-bear-151017-61-300x200.jpg)

Over at the Black Bear Bar, Brooklyn punk rock three piece [**Samantha**](http://www.samanthanoise.com/?ref=glamglare.com) provided another jolt of raw energy, before we went to the third [Audiofemme](http://www.audiofemme.com/?ref=glamglare.com) and [Atypical Sounds](http://atypicalbeastsagency.com/atypicalsounds/?ref=glamglare.com) showcase of the festival. 

![Gold Child at Baby's All Right](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/4bb62c54-gold-child-at-babys-all-right-151206-103-300x200.jpg)

First on was [**Gold Child**](http://www.emilyfehler.com/?ref=glamglare.com), this time fully plugged in after we saw her acoustic performance the day before. It was her first performance with a full band: and I’m looking forward to seeing more of her.

![Von Sell at Cameo](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/91bc8a2f-von-sell-at-cameo-151017-74-300x200.jpg)

Next up on the same stage was [**Von Sell**](https://www.facebook.com/vonsell) who does electro pop songs with thick synth layers. Once you heard them, it’s difficult to get them out of your head again. Instantly super catchy!

![Letters to Nepal at Bar Matchless](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/6abac930-letters-to-nepal-at-bar-matchless-151017-50-300x200.jpg)

From there we rushed to Bar Matchless for the [Light Minutes Away](http://lightminutesaway.blogspot.com/?ref=glamglare.com) showcase for [**Letters from Nepal**](http://www.letterstonepal.com/?ref=glamglare.com). They play etheric soundscapes cut by a fierce beat and topped by Evgeniya Kuznetsova’s beautiful vocals.

![Olya at Bar Matchless](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/f4b1b099-olya-at-bar-matchless-151017-5-300x249.jpg)

Unfortunately, we had only time for two songs of [**OLYA**](http://www.olyamusic.net/?ref=glamglare.com), whose [debut EP Utopia](http://www.glamglare.com/music/2015/6/2/new-album-olya-utopia) we liked a lot. But that’s CMJ: for one show you see, you miss five others you should have seen.

![Avid Dancer at Music Hall of Williamsburg](https://glamglare.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/10/d54ec1fc-avid-dancer-at-music-hall-of-williamsburg-151017-132-300x200.jpg)

Elke went off to Music Hall of Williamsburg to see [**Avid Dancer**](http://aviddancerband.com/?ref=glamglare.com), performing his beautiful [debut album Birth](http://aviddancerband.com/?ref=glamglare.com), while I came back to CAMEO to see [**Beverly**](https://www.facebook.com/wearebeverly) – unfortunately the lighting situation at the [doomed venue](http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2015/10/cameo%5Fgallery%5Fw.html?ref=glamglare.com) didn’t allow me to take any photos.

And with that, CMJ 2015 ended for us. Keep checking back to glamglare.com: we will work hard to weed through our photos and will post them here over the next couple of weeks.
