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!

I’m getting ready to hit the road for a month or so, and decided to post a few more PopFest sets before I head out…  Dark Meat took the stage on Thursday evening, working the crowd into anticipation of the night’s final act, Roky Erickson.  Paying homage with their psyhedelic hero, the band concluded the set with a cover of Roky’s “Be and Bring Me Home”.
