(Photo taken by Max Blau for War on Pop and Creative Loafing.)

Economically traveling as a three-piece (see show intro), Bunnygrunt played to an always-enthusiastic Athens crowd.  Closing out the set with a Red Pony Clock cover, the band invited a host of PopFest friends onstage (Chris, Keenan, Jason, Leia, Tom, and Jonathan) to sing along!

We Versus The Shark – 8.13.2008 @ Athens PopFest

Defunct Athens-based We Versus the Shark closed out the first night of 2008′s PopFest with a quick 25-minute set.  Their material seems to have become heavier (or just more frantic) since last year.  Maybe this evolution has accelerated with the departure of Samantha Paulsen, but I haven’t seen WVTS often enough to properly judge.  After listening to the popfest sets from both last year and this year, I’d say the trio is just as enjoyable as the four-piece!

Tendaberry – 8.15.2008 @ Athens PopFest

I just got word yesterday that Am I Still Illmatic, the debut album from Atlanta’s Tendaberry, is due out next month.  The news prompted me to sit down this evening and track out their stellar performance from last year’s PopFest.  The set contains many originals that will appear on the upcoming disc, along with an interesting selection of covers.
