Veronica FAlls

The line-up for the fourth annual NYC Popfest has just been announced, which will happen May 20 – 23 at a variety of venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Thirty-two bands from around the world will be playing, and I think it’s a pretty strong bunch of bands. Highlights for me include Veronica Falls (pictured above) which features ex-members of The Royal We and Sexy Kids; newly-reformed Glasgow/Factory Records legends The Wake who’ll have a new album out this year; London all-girl trio The Tender Trap (not to be confused with The Temper Trap); winsome Allo Darlin’ who are also from London and will be at SXSW this year; L.A.’s Neverever (until recently known as the Champagne Socialists); and Seattle’s awesome BOAT.

A few MP3s to whet your Popfest appetite. Ticket info hasn’t been announced yet, but you can follow the Popfest blog or Twitter for updates. You can check out the full NYC Popfest line-up after the jump.
