Noise Pop is a festival thrown in San Francisco....that starts this Wednesday until Sunday. While everyone bites their teeth for SXSW, San Fran welcomes a niche pick of indie bands like Magnetic Fields, M. Ward, Blitzentrapper, and British Sea Power, to various venues...I've never been but thought I'd check it out this year....Some bands I am looking forward to?Blitzen Trapper is southern rock greatness- with a bit of Oregon hippie vibe.Port O'Brien- is a collective whose lead singer spends the summer in Alaska on a fishing boat. The music is therefore salt-tinged and swelling- a bit melancholic, a bit introspective... MSTRKRFT - with LA Riots- since I saw the duo at last yrs Coachella, I've been awaiting a second night of dancing till daylight :)M Ward with Zooey Deschanel: M. Ward has got a mollasses and sand-paper rasp- and the gift of incredible lyrical and sonic genius- one of the best singer/songwriters out there (reminiscent of Elliot Smith with a bit more tar under his breath)...Zooey- the actress? Don't know much about her but I trust M Ward's taste and love her films...They're debuting at this festival...called She & Him I believe. Should be cool.The list goes on...but check out: http://www.noisepop.com/2008for more info...If you are in San Fran, give me a holler. I'm going to be shooting and doing a few interviews... anyone else going? cheers,Indiepixie- with flowers in her hair
