Tuesday, September 16, marks the start of this year's CMJ Music Festival in New York City. To that end, 3x3 wants to get you in the mood to rock hard for five straight days. First up, Queens of the Stone Age offer up a three-song, power metal punch at Columbiahalle in Berlin. Then we head to Chicago where the Ponys give their hometown a heavy dose of garage rock at the Double Door. Meanwhile, last but not least, the Deadly Syndrome rock the Roxy in Hollywood.

Want more 3x3? We've got 63 different performances for you to watch.
