Last night, The Syndicate kicked off New York’s CMJ Music Marathon with their 10th annual Conflict of Interest Party, sponsored by Okobos. The party was held at Rebel NYC, which may have been less labyrinthine if not packed to the brim with industry insiders and music lovers alike. There were DJs on every floor, games of flip cup, and free wine and PBR. Comedian Robert Kelly opened the night on the main stage with a hilarious set. The music portion of the evening included sets by And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Rival Schools, and Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s.
