Our readers will recall that we attended several performances from the NYC Popfest 2008 which was universally excellent. We posted recordings of Ladybug Transistor, Oh Custer, and Love Is All (nyctaper #4 concert of the year!). A few minutes ago, NYC Popfest posted a bulletin announcing the dates for the 2009 Festival, which will take place on May 15-17.
The bulletin promised “more details to follow”. However, we were able to surmise that the following four bands are on the preliminary list to appear at the Fest: My Teenage Stride (Brooklyn), Hands and Knees (Boston), Cats On Fire (Finland), and The Hermit Crabs (Glasgow Scotland).
There were preliminary discussion regarding NYCTaper becoming the “archivist” for this Festival. We do expect to attend and record multiple acts this year.
