While thousands of runners are limbering up for the ING New York City Full Marathon, just weeks away, New York is host to another marathon. The CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival kicked off it’s 30th year Tuesday October 19th at various venues. No training is required for this marathon, just huge amounts of love for music and film.The Bigger Lights took the stage at Bowery Poetry Club setting the tone for this year’s festival, non stop heart pumping energy. The up-and-coming rock band from Virginia recently toured with Cute is What We Aim For and Down with Webster, who is also playing CMJ this year. The handsome five-member band may call themselves The Bigger Lights, but they showed those in attendance that they’d soon be bigger than life!
