Allo Darlin’ at NYC Popfest 2012

Save the dates, May 30 — June 2, 2013. That’s the weekend for the seventh annual NYC Popfest which will happen across multiple venues in NYC. No other details have been announced but expect a mix of old and new, American and foriegn, and a few “la la las” and “bah bah bahs.” Personally, I’d love for them to get This Many Boyfriends (check out a video below) and The Monochrome Set. (Go Kart Mozart too, though that seems like a real longshot.) What about you?

The 2012 Popfest happened May 17 – 20, concluding with a big, all-day show at Littlefield with Allo Darlin’, The Ladybug Transistor, The Wave Pictures and more. In this post is a set of pictures from that Sunday show we never posted. There’s more below, along with the This Many Boyfriends video, an old Monochrome Set clip and UK dates for The Wave Pictures.
