If you aren't already knee deep in bands to check out at this year's CMJ Music Marathon, head over to the Bowery and pop into the awesomely festive Levi's/Fader Fort. Levi's and The Fader Magazine are setting up shop this week at 169 Bowery and will be rocking the days of CMJ away with free drinks and tons of music. However, judging by the outdoor decor, we hope the venue doesn't outshine its talent. The Fort's line-up includes Hollywood Holt, The Naked and Famous, All The Saints, Passion Pit, School of Seven Bells, Kuroma, Ricky Blaze, Tobacco, Little Boots, and many, many more.
