Unpop #10, Festival Special

Though chock-full of comedians who have glossy posters everywhere (have you checked your front door yet?), the venerable Edinburgh Fringe Festival is suffering from a crippling indie pop deficit. This August's Unpop will act as a stimulus package for all pop fans, who would otherwise be wasting away in their rooms for want of listening to The Aislers Set through relatively powerful speakers.

As per the norm, Unpop brings out the heavenly pop hits, all the way from jangle pop to post-jangle pop and jangly pop...expect to hear the likes of:

-- Heavenly -- Orange Juice -- Pavement -- Jens Lekman -- Belle & Sebastian -- Standard Fare -- The Clean -- Half Man Half Biscuit -- Evans The Death -- The Smiths -- The Wedding Present -- Helen Love -- Jonathan Richman -- Kenickie -- Bearsuit -- The Breeders -- The Fall -- Pulp -- The Aislers Set -- Of Montreal -- Deerhoof -- Camera Obscura and many more...

We're pleased to announce that our guest DJs for the night are local indie pop heroes The Spook School, who will undoubtedly play a set of such brilliance that we will all be rendered deaf by sheer amazement at their curatorial skills.

Also, there'll be free badges, sweets and a limited number of C60 mixtapes on the night, so get down early to increase your haul of twee.

Unpop in Glasgow!

Unpop is very excited to be coming to Glasgow!

Friday 13th of July.

Aye, that's right; Edinburgh's finest indiepop dance party is paying Glasgow a visit for the first time. Glaswegians rejoice! Or more to the point, come out for a dance and bring all your pals. We like indiepop, C86, jangly stuff and general twee nonsense. If that sounds like your cup of tea then we'd love to see you at Blackfriars on the 13th. We will provide you with cake, mixtapes, badges and tunes for dancing to. Can you think of a better way to dispel that Friday 13th gloom? I thought not.

Mixtapes, badges, cake and more for the first 50 people!

You can expect to hear the likes of:
Belle & Sebastian, Felt, Hefner, Orange Juice, Deerhoof, Camera Obscura, Jens Lekman, Allo Darlin, Tullycraft, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Pavement, Talulah Gosh, The Aislers Set, A Smile And A Ribbon, The Magnetic Fields, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Pastels, Bearsuit, Los Campesinos!, Eux Autres, Vivian Girls, Bis, The Smiths, Ballboy, Helen Love, The Wedding Present, Stereolab, La Sera, The Bobby McGees, The Clean, The Hidden Cameras and many, many more.

The Just Joans, The Spook School and The Hector Collectors

Unpop is delighted to prestent The Just Joans with there Edinburgh launch of their new record "Buckfast Bottles In The Rain". The evening will also feature The Spook School and The Hector Collectors!

The Wee Red Bar
7pm to 10pm
Only £4 and includes entry to The Egg.

The Just Joans
If the Just Joans were to be personified, they would a combination of early '60s Tom Courtenay and Stephen Patrick Morrissey, drinking Buckfast on a park bench in Motherwell. Indie pop legends in their own right, having played Popfests around they world (as well as being namechecked in Allo Darlin's "If Loneliness Was Art"), The Just Joans are a fantastic live act. Unfortunately, their live appearances round these parts are rare. Fortunately, we've got them this time for an Edinburgh launch of their new record "Buckfast Bottles In The Rain". It will be awesome.

The Spook School
Kieran from Unpop used to say that Edinburgh didn't have any indie pop bands apart from ballboy. What a misguided fool he is - apparently, there are several, one of whom are the excellent The Spook School. Fresh from their breakthrough appearance on the last Unpop tape (!), these poptastic kids will sweetly rock your world; if you haven't seen them live, now's your chance to redeem yourself.

The Hector Collectors
It might be almost a decade since The Hector Collectors played Edinburgh supporting Half Man Half Biscuit and they are not to be missed. Expect the finest ramshackle indie pop.

Unpop! Indiepop Dance Party # 8!

Unpop is back!

Friday 24th February 2012
The Wee Red Bar
£4, Free mixtapes, badges and cake for early arrivals.
11pm to 3am

It's been too long, folks. After having a super awesome time bringing Unpop to Indietracks in Derbyshire in July, we had to take a wee break for other somewhat less awesome commitments. However, 2012 sees the return of Unpop to our beloved home town. Since July, Team Unpop have been busy thesis-writing, putting on various gigs, pushing real ale, home-brewing, watching documentaries about pop bands and even saving people's lives (no shit!). But finally, our slumbering indie pop appetites will be sated by playing jangly tunes until the early, bleary hours of Saturday morning...

Being long enough after the 14th to not really count, let's call it a Pseudo-Valentine's hop, dedicated to both pandas (because they're around these days, adorning our posters and whatnot) and groundhogs (cos it's in February).

C86, modern twee, jangle pop and generally heavenly pop hits will be busted out, alongside many other melodic classics.

Wear your heart on sleeve, dress up for a dance and shimmy along with us for the night. As always, cakes, goodies and Unpop's 9th mixtape are there for early-comers, and all for the very reasonable price of £4! The fey will rise again!
