Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2010 MATH THE BAND @ CAKE SHOP 152 Ludlow St New York, NY 10002 $10, 7PM I should probably post some sort of disclaimer that not ALL of the shows in these posts are technically CMJ shows (meaning that damned badge might not get you into them). Of course, those badges often do no good anyway when shows are "badged-out" (a version of sold out that means a CMJ badge will no longer get you into a show). We only hope that sort of good fortune for Math the Band , who play at Cake Shop tonight ...
