Hi Everyone, Please make sure to head over to The Scene in Glendale, California, on Thursday, January 15, for the return of International Pop Overthrow Presents! Here's the lineup: 8:45 Morty Shallman-The latest CD by this dapper, affable Angelino, Love’s Oblivion, will warm the hearts of pop fans everywhere with its beautiful, personal songs. It’s a tragicomic roller coaster ride of lust, obsession, betrayal & regret, told in a series of twelve melodic and hook-filled song chapters. When he performs live, Mr. Shallman delivers these tunes with grace and aplomb. www.morty.org 9:30 Feathergun-Here’s a band who have the harder side of pop music down to a “T”, plus they don’t seem to mind doing the rock star bit on stage! Their new CD, playfully titled Music To Wash To, is melodic as hell and packs quite a wallop! www.feathergun.com 10:15 The Piper Downs-One of the most entertaining bands on the scene is led by the ultra-congenial organizer of Los Angeles’ Wheat From Chaff Festival, Bobby Bognar. Their latest album, Varying Degrees of Failure and Tunelessness, is anything but what the title suggests. You always get more than a bang for your buck with The Piper Downs, and they're one of the hardest working and well-travelled bands in the biz! www.piperdowns.com 11:00 The Dollyrots-A female-fronted, three-piece punk/indie band with enough energy for a band twice that size! Their music blends innocence, attitude, and fun, as it draws equal from '60s girl pop and all-out punk rock 'n roll. Plus, they just got a well-deserved, very cool HP commercial! www.dollyrots.com 11:45 They Walk Among Us-I recently saw this band from Cardiff, Wales, and they really impressed me with their dynamic blend of Brit-pop and modern rock, with lush harmonies and soundscapes. They've got what it takes, both live and on their brand new CD, the cerebrally-titled Mathematics Art In Progress. www.they-walk-among-us.com Admission is FREE! The Scene is a 21 and over venue, and is located at 806 Colorado St. in Glendale. Their website is www.thescenebar.com and their phone is 818 241-7029 We hope to see you there! -- Pop Rules!!!!! Take Care, David
