This past weekend’s Creator’s Project, sponsored by Intel and Vice Magazine, brought together music, art installations, and food vendor’s to one of NYC’s most inspirational neighborhoods, DUMBO. It was a great pre-CMJ kickoff event and there was fantastic talent at all three stages. We spent the majority of our time in the old Tobacco Warehouse, where we caught Teen Daze, John Maus, Yuksek, and Atlas Sound. To end the night with a bang, we heard the fantastic sounds of Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine underneath the Manhattan bridge.
