Noise Pop 2010 is suddenly upon us. I’m super thrilled… but at the same time find myself with a lot less money than I had last year. Thus… listed are the shows I recommend… keeping in mind you and I are both on a budget.

“The Noise Pop Festival returns Tuesday, February 23rd through Monday, March 1st, 2010 showcasing the best local music alongside national and international indie rock favorites. For our the 18th anniversary, Noise Pop 2010 will honor what’s made it the best-loved celebration of indie music and culture since its humble birth in 1993.” NOISE POP

My advise to you:

1. Don’t buy the badge, it doesn’t guarantee you entrance to shows.
2. Go to all the happy hours at Benders
   (They’re free, have local bands, and Benders is cool!)
3. Go to the pre party, it’s great for networking, great for drinking, and fun!
4. You’re on your own for Friday… to many good bands!
   (I limited some)
5. Industry Noise is too expensive for struggling bands… but very helpful!!!
   (Watch for me… I’ll be there!)
6. Saturday is also hard! I’m a groupie of Music for Animals
   yet… Maus Haus with Sugar & Gold (it’s going to be big!)
7. Sunday you can see 2 shows! A Dizzy afternoon and a Sharpe evening!

This is my advice… I spent my lunch money on Industry Noise! So I’ll starve till then… but I hope it helps! Also if your band is playing and you want SF Intercom there… Let us know!!! We attend all shows that we are guest listed to.

Noise Pop happens every year. The focus is on Indie music… At times I get frustrated at how unorganized Noise Pop is… however… I can’t help but love their passion for music!!! I want to yell at them for their stupid badges and I want to praise them for supporting local music. (I do hope to collaborate with them some day, but first I’d have to vent about my frustrations as a fan.)
