Dan Deacon, comin' our way.
Noise Pop, the San Francisco music festival that's gone from being the scrappy little fest-that-could to an overwhelmingly packed week of shows, pop-ups, and parties at venues all over the city, announced its early lineup today for the 2015 festival, which runs from Feb. 20 through March 1.
Now in its 23rd year, the fest still has a nice bias toward local bands — both established and up-and-coming Bay Area artists who you can pretty much bet will be national news before 2015 is out — plus a slew of other buzzy West Coast acts, with a good mix of indie-electronica, punk, and shoegazy pop. Also, solid representation from Canada this year.
Organizers will roll out many more additions to the lineup in December, as per usual, but here's your first bite.
