Popstrangers + Bored Nothing + Bearhug

Overview

Growing up in a tiny town on NZ's North Island, the Popstrangers made "the music [they] wanted to make, without thinking too much about who was going to hear it." Fortunately, their psych pop reached the ears of the decision makers at Carpark Records and last month saw the US release of their debut LP, Antipodes.

Popstrangers are not the only Antipodean musicians making waves on the international scene right now. With new EP Over Easy set to drop on April 19, Bearhug is soon to jet to Austin to play the SXSW Festival. Even though they continue to describe themselves as "pathetic as ever", the good people at Spunk Records have certainly found something in the group's airy indie pop that's worthy of global promotion.

Meanwhile, Cooperative Music is anything but bored by Bored Nothing's emotive compositions and lo-fi production, and will release the group's new EP internationally in April.

Before they hit the big time, catch all three acts, all on one night, when they share a triple headline bill at Goodgod on March 7.
