ImageThe NYC Popfest is a five day celebration of international indie pop music, held in seven different venues throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. More than 30 bands will be performing, featuring Chicago's Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Pennyslvania's Human Television, and New York City natives the Baskervilles and The Secret History.

The Popfest will appeal to the huge underground subculture of rabid pop-music fanatics. While the holy grail for music fans of this ilk may be the sweet sounds of the three B's (The Beatles, The Byrds and Big Star), there are a slew of newer acts waiting to be discovered, so put on your rock shoes and don't miss this exciting event.
