Sebadoh, Erickson, half of Silver Lake to play Noise Pop
A show featuring Sebadoh with its original lineup, an appearance by '60s cult hero Roky Erickson and a homecoming club show by Bay Area pop-punkers the Donnas highlight the 15h edition of Noise Pop, the five-day festival that brings some 100 acts to 10 venues in San Francisco.
The official lineup and schedule for the festival, which begins Feb. 27, are due to be announced Monday.
Erickson's scheduled appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival has created a minor buzz; the 59-year-old rocker has a long history of psychological and drug abuse problems but has rallied in recent years. He made an appearance at the 2005 South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin. Noise Pop also will feature a screening of "You're Gonna Miss Me," a documentary about Erickson.
Other Noise Pop screenings include "Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' At Him?)," the premiere of "Sonic Youth: Sleeping Nights Awake" and "Far Off Town: From Dunedin to Nashville," about iconic New Zealand songwriter David Kilgour.
Noise Pop hasn't announced its opening-night lineup at the Mezzanine, but Cake will close the festival with a show for badge-holders on Sunday at Bimbos.
A strong contingent of Los Angeles bands will make the trip, including Autolux, Earlimart, the Bird and the Bee, Dios Malos, the Gray Kid, Lemon Sun, the Oohlas, Sea Wolf, Simon Dawes and the Submarines.
