ASOBI SEKSU, LONEY DEAR, & ANNA TERNHEIM
@ BOWERY BALLROOM
6 Delcancey Street
Manhattan, NY 10002
$17, 8PM

CMJ is next week. It's supposed to be the time of year when all sorts of bands descend upon the City to play a bunch of shows. However, it's on nights like tonight when you realize that this happens almost every night in New York City. With an assortment of great shows, it was hard for me to pluck one out of the pack as the best; however, I have been waiting for this Anna Ternheim/Asobi Seksu/Loney Dear tour to stop by for a while.
