International Pop Overthrow

[Swedishpolarper]

Hello everyone,

I just want to do a little commercial here... spoke to Kev and he said it was fine
On Monday the 22nd of May the IPO (International Pop Overthrow) festival is coming your way again. It's a pop music festival which has been held for the past eight years in Los Angeles, and more recently in Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nashville, San Francisco, and Liverpool, England (at the world famous Cavern Club)!

This year my band "Swedish Polarbears" has been invited to play which we will do on Saturday the 26 at the Cavern Club (12.30 pm) and on the Sunday the 27 at the Cavern Pub (4.45 pm).

For more information about the festival, bands and schedules go to: http://www.internationalpopoverthrow.com/

and should you want to listen to the Swedish Polarbears we can be found at http://www.swedishpolarbears.com and at http://myspace.com/swedishpolarbears

Some blog reviews:

“Check out swedishpolarbears.com for the absolute best mid-period teenage
fanclub songs you never heard - 4 free downloads!! anyone who loves
powerpop MUST check it out!! pure heaven!� (abolutepowerpop.com)

“Any of these songs would not stand out on the Fannies best work�
(turqousedays)

“Did the new Big Star record, or the db's reunion disc or the upcoming 3
disc Sloan extravaganza not live up to your hopes and dreams for what
intelligent power pop should sound like? If so perhaps you'd like to hear
some of the music from Swedish Polarbears� (swedplease).

“Oh sweet Sweden, you’re officially forgiven for Europe� (writenoise).

Thank you very much for your time and hope to see you there!

See ya next week kev! We arrive at around 8'ish in the morning to daz's house.

Haha, well - come on down and find out

Kev: Yeah - don't know what time yet though, but after our long journey we need beer! We will probably pop in to hotel daz and leave a few things and sort ourselves out first.
