This week we’re giving Australia and it’s abundance of summer (yes, it’s summer down there right now) festivals a rest, and highlighting a San Francisco one we’re excited about: Noise Pop. Running from February 21 – 26, Noise Pop combines indie music, local arts, an interactive workshop exploring DIY culture, gallery shows, and happy hours. Plus, this year is its 20th Anniversary, and they’ve got a great lineup; i.e., a gold mine of new music and new bands. For example:
And Bay Area natives Fresh & Onlys:
Plus seasoned favorites like Archers of Loaf, Built to Spill, and Cursive.
A general badge for all shows across 16 venues will run you $150, although for some reason this excludes Die Antwoord’s show at the Regency. The complete schedule grid can be found here, where you can also plan out your own schedule of events to check out. Of course there’s good ol’ Facebook to keep track of updates, as well as Twitter for those timely announcements.
