CMJ 2012 Events and Showcases (Update)

For previous CMJ coverages: click here.
If your showcase is not listed here, it's because of one of a few reasons: your event is private/industry-only, you probably didn't send me an email, you did not put "CMJ" in the subject header, or you don't have a flyer. I will continue to update this page for additional shows – so please email me vu@weheartmusic.com if you don't see your showcase listed here.
All events are considered "Free with CMJ Badge."

Seriously, if I were in New York, this would be the event I will be at. We're talking Saturday from noon to 2am with nothing but Australian bands. How amazing is that?
I believe this is a free event courtesy of Sounds Australia and Stage Mother.

a-Peer Music & the Taiwan Ministry of Culture Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development (BAMID) are hosting the
Taiwan Music CMJ Showcase & Press Conference.
This should be on your radar if you're into Taiwanese pop music. They are calling these "C-Pop" bands, the C is for Chinese, and you can expect it to sound more or less like K-Pop or J-Pop.
