Year after year, you hear the same complaint: “This New Year’s… I don’t know, it’s just lacking something. Cheap champagne, making out with a stranger, sequins — what this New Year’s really needs is English post-punk legends The Pop Group. [Sigh…]” Well, the New Year’s fantasy of so many will finally become a reality. For, as 2011 dawns, our newly-reunited friends in The Pop Group shall take the stage at ATP’s Strange Days event at the Hammersmith Apollo. DJ Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai and DJ Cherrystones have recently been confirmed too. Also in the house that night will be Sonic Youth, Shellac, and Factory Floor. No Mayan could have predicted an event of such rocktacular proportions.
The Pop Group will also join Sonic Youth onstage at their show at Manchester Academy.
