Memphis Pops Festival This Weekend
by Chris DavisArticle Tools
On Friday, July 24 four uniformly excellent Memphis' acts will compete for $3000 worth of recording time at Ardent Studio and $1500 in advertising in The Memphis Flyer. Here's everything you need to know about each of the bands in 3 words.
Two Way Radio*:Broadway minus suckiness.
Hi Electric: Chiltonesque with mellotron.
The Barbaras: Stall of Sound.
*aka the band formerly known as Walkie Talkie.
On Saturday, July 25 a group of Memphis' most unusual art rockers share the stage with an extraordinary collection of undersung rockers from the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
The Warble: Fiddling with minds.
The Hombres: Original G(arage) heroes. Terry Manning: Who’s Jack White? Roy Head: Hypnotic gyrating grandpa.
Anybody interested having their picture taken with Head, a human washing machine (and chart-topping blue-eyed soulster) should visit the Memphis Folk Alliance at 510 S. Main during the Trolley tour.
While Head signs autographs Downtown Harlan T. Bobo will play a free show at Goner Records 2152 Young Ave.
On Saturday at 1:00 p.m. festival goers can have a conversation with Terry Manning at Ardent Studios 2000.
Roy Head will sign autographs at 3:00 p.m. At Shangri La Records, 1916 Madison Ave.
At 3:30 Jeff Evans and Ross Johnson play a free concert. — Chris Davis
