Andrew W.K., Malajube, Bon Iver Do Madison Pop Fest

Fest to screen Daft Punk's Electroma, Sigur Ros' Heima, The Hip Hop Project
Andrew W.K., Malajube, Bon Iver Do Madison Pop Fest Summer festival season is over, and the success of the Packers has Wisconsin's mind on non-musical matters. But with appearances from Andrew W.K., Bon Iver, and Malajube planned, it would be a shame for the Madison Pop Festival to go overlooked.

This is the festival's third year of existence, and the three University of Wisconsin-Madison students who run it have managed to pack three days full of excitement despite their meager numbers.

Andrew W.K. kicks off the festival on November 8 at UW's Great Hall. Then, November 9 brings showings of Daft Punk's Electroma and The Hip Hop Project as well as performances by Baby Teeth, Pale Young Gentlemen, Billy Harvey, La Bruja, Vid Libert, and Kazi. And finally, the November 10 events include a showing of Sigur Rós' Heima and performances by Bon Iver, Malajube, Murder by Death, the Selfish Gene, Common Loon, and Them, Roaringtwenties.

And since the whole thing is totally free, attending the festival is just like the downloading we do every day at our computers, except with human contact. Imagine!
