Why Power Pop? Power Pop a musical genre that still is going strong both on its own terms and as an influence on a wide variety of artists. It's one of the few genres that appeal to the 30-50 year old demographic, which is generally neglected in radio and music marketing circles. After all, who doesn't like power chord-laden, singalong music that was probably the soundtrack to your first kiss or the first day of your last high school summer?

Organized by Aaron Kupferberg of Powerpopaholic.com and Scott Bittner of the Heartless Devils, this will be a music festival similar to the International Pop Overthrow (IPO) where the focus is on bands in the melodic rock or power pop genres. Tickets are pay-one-price ($10) to see all 7 bands. The music starts at 8:00pm on September 22, 2012. Lulu's is conveniently located near the corner of Main Street and N.Country Rd. one block from the LIRR.
