Early Artist & Film Confirmations
We are pleased to share a number of exciting announcements for the 2009 Noise
Pop Festival, taking place February 24 through March 1, 2009 at venues throughout
San Francisco, CA. We are already hard at work on next year’s Noise Pop
and additional updates will be forthcoming
Early artist confirmations include New Pornographers front man A.C. Newman,
No Age, Pinback side project Goblin Cock, Dear And The Headlights, the Bay
Area debut of Clues and a very special performance by Antony and the Johnsons
at Davies Symphony Hall, kicking off a festival roster that will include over
100 bands.
The Noise Pop Film Festival continues its mission of focusing on films that
embrace and reflect independent music and culture. Early announcements include “Johnny
Cash at Folsom Prison” examining the most important day in the career
of an American icon, and “Agile Mobile Hostile: A Year with Andre Williams,” which
follows the charismatic hit songwriter (he has recorded with Berry Gordy, Ike
Turner, Stevie Wonder and Jon Spencer to name a few) and his struggle with
his creative vision and his addictions. Many Noise Pop Film Festival screenings
will include Q&A discussions with the filmmakers.
Noise Pop has announced that WolfgangsVault.com returns as a presenting sponsor
of the 2009 Festival showcasing emerging artists. Wolfgang’s Vault is
the home for the past, present and future of live music including The Bill
Graham Archives, Daytrotter Sessions, King Biscuit, selections from Noise Pop
