Yup. Another Power Pop festival is scheduled for August 29th – 30th in Austin, TX. I guess the SXSW fest isn’t enough for that city! This is a definite retro skinny tie power pop affair. Among the headliners of this 30-band weekend will be first wave UK punk artists The Boys (“First Time,” “I Don’t Care”), appearing for their first U.S. show in over 25 years, and Paul Collins’ Beat (“Rock N Roll Girl,” “Walking Out On Love”), Vancouver’s Pointed Sticks, and 20/20 (“Yellow Pills,” “Cheri”) are back together to bring the quintessential power pop sound to the masses, alongside fellow Bomp Records alumni Nikki Corvette (“You’re The One,” “He’s A Mover”).
