HOT TIP: San Fran's Noisepop Festival Lineup

Oh, you lucky Californians. You've got the 15th Annual Noisepop Festival to
look forward to in two weeks.



Ah yes, the six day fest celebrating the alternative art, music and film movements,
tarts Tues, 2/15. What's the big deal? Fans will be shocked and excited to learn
that Lou Barlow and his fellow founding members of Sebadoh will reunite for a
show. That's huge. Plus, you can also catch an intimate show with Cake. Between
those two and a show from The French Kicks, this fest would be tops on my
February gig calendar. But if they aren't enough to sweeten the deal for you,
how's this for a sexy lineup, courtesy of the Noisepop Festival site...
