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!

Edmonton DIY kings Gobble Gobble are currently in the midst of their Mobile Rave Infinitour, which would put the schedules of any other artist to shame.  They stopped in Colorado for a few days this month, including a house party with Woodsman.   These guys really know how to put on a party…even the most humble house show was approached with costumes, puppets, and a large conglomeration of toys/noisemakers.   If you live in North America, chance are Gobble Gobble will be visiting a city near you before Thanksgiving.  If you can’t make it to see them in person, check out the band’s releases available on Royal Rhino Flying Records.
