Things are really happening! It seems exciting DIY pop is coming back not only internationally but in the US. Labels like Slumberland Records out of Oakland, Cloudberry Records out of Florida, YAY! Records out of Oxnard, and What's Your Rupture out of New York-- plus more. Although Sweden and England have been the place for new independent pop lately, the US has made some noise themselves with YAY! Records on the west coast and the New York noise pop groups on the east coast. Some of those New York groups include: Vivian Girls, Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Crystal Stilts and caUSE co-MOTION (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll).
The latter three group will all have albums out on one of the more exciting labels around right now: Slumberland Records (http://www.slumberlandrecords.com/)
This new pop combines the energy and creativity of punk and post-punk with the style and sweetness of pop from the 50's and 60's.
For this special Halloween show Crystal Stilts and caUSE co-MOTION will be playing their first show of their west coast tour, with their new albums available!
They will be worth not missing, for sure!
There will also be the fabulous YAY! bands you know and some very fun DJs!!!
And Candy too!
