Athens PopFest Countdown: Spotlight on The Smittens
Submitted by imaginary liz on August 2, 2007.
Next Thursday night's line up at the Athen's Popfest is going to cause mass hugging hysteria. Darlings like Ted Leo, Darron Hanlon, Patience Please, and nine other cutable bands will be gracing the PopFest stage over the course of the day and night.
Let's celebrate by singing along with my favorite song by The Smittens (well favorite to date... that could change after I see them at the PopFest): "Good Migrations." The deep male vocals under the sweet coy female vocals are sooo nice. I dare you not to listen at least twice.
The Smittens will be performing early in the evening at the 40 Watt.
Want to join me there? Here's the line-up I'll be seeing that day:
At the Little Kings during the day:
1. Quiet Hooves
2. Oh Sanders
3. Violet Vector & the Lovely Lovelies
4. Darren Hanlon
At the 40 Watt Club at night:
5. Patience Please
6. How I Became the Bomb
7. the Smittens
8. Velcro Stars
9. M Coast
10. We Versus the Shark
11. Birds of Avalon
12. Ted Leo & the Pharmacists

I heard about Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies from Idolator and I think I might love them. Can I talk you in to picking up one of their CDs for me while you're there? I can give you some money before you leave for Athens (even if I'm not exactly sure how).

I saw Patience Please last night! I'll have pics up here to prove it soon. And, they played with the Smittens, though I couldn't stick around for them b/c I had to motor across town for the Vinyl Skyway. I'll have pics up here to prove that too.
And, I've said it before, but How I Became the Bomb is effing awesome! Ask them to sing "Fat Girls Talking 'Bout Cardio" — I hear it's not often played live.
