Still in the midst of catching up with all of the emails, news, and what not since I’ve been a bit of a slouch this entire week.
One of the more intriguing announcements to come down the pipe was the the lineup for this year’s NYC Popfest, which will be held starting on May 14th – 17th. Now I wouldn’t call myself a popkid or anything like that quite yet, but I’ve followed a lot of this music over past few years to appreciate how good this lineup is.
From the likes of Burning Hearts and Knight School that were early discoveries this year, to long-time favorites including Rose Melberg and The Radio Dept; one really can’t say no to a lineup like this. There’s probably no way for me to afford to go to this, but I would go to this in a heartbeat if money wasn’t an issue.
