For anyone who would like to brave the late August heat in Austin TX :-) :
Rock-A-Round Entertainment is pleased to present its first annual Wild Weekend Power Pop Festival and Record Swap, Friday, August 29th and Saturday, August 30th, at Emo’s in Austin, TX. It’s a weekend filled with exciting reunions mixed with some of today’s most electrifying touring acts.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”), who defined the skinny-tie power pop sound of the '80s. Other notable bands on this festival include Vancouver’s Pointed Sticks (“What Do You Want Me To Do,” “Apologies”), whose recent reissue of their epic “Perfect Youth” album spawned sold out shows in Japan and Canada. 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”). They will all be joined on several stages by two dozen “Now Wave” power pop bands, many of which are inspired by these reuniting headliners.The majority of the shows will be at Emo’s, but several day parties and other events are scheduled at other Austin locations. A record swap is scheduled as well. Bands performing include : Paul Collins Beat, 20/20, Nikki Corvette, Boss Martians, Grand Champeen, The Boys, and many more !
