Over the last year or two, we've grown pretty close here with our friends at Sniffling Indie Kids and Mint 400 Records. Their stable of acts includes many of the bands we feature often here like dollys, Sink Tapes, LKFFCT, C.R. & The Degenerates, NGHTCRWLRS, YJY, and more. Honestly, CoolDad Music would be a much more boring place without the work that SIK and Mint 400 do to bring the music of these bands into the world. That's why it's so exciting to me that the two labels will be teaming up to bring us The North Jersey Indie Rock Festival on September 10th from noon to 8pm at Jersey City's Cathedral Hall.

| CoolDad Music and Sniffling Indie Kids co-presented the Indie Pop Winter Formal back in January. |
The event is being presented in association with Jersey City's 4th Street Arts Organization, BGT Enterprises, and The Rock-It Docket. I'm also really excited that CoolDad Music, along with just about every New Jersey music website and music publication you can think of, will be co-sponsoring the festival.
Cathedral Hall is a newly-renovated arts space at the corner of Montgomery and Brunswick Streets in the heart of Downtown Jersey City. The former church will play host to 20 bands representing both labels. There will be two levels of live music in addition to North Jersey craft vendors, food vendors, and beer and spirits vendors. Bands run the gamut from scene veterans to new acts, from bluegrass to punk to indie rock. The event promises to be a showcase for the North Jersey arts community. The organizers hope that this can evolve into an annual event that brings in more bands, labels, and vendors as it grows.
Check out the event poster below for the full line-up of bands, and keep it tuned here for more information.
