Naturally, we adore all the gorgeous bands that play Pop Art. The 'niX and Dom do it purely "for the love". We refuse to grit our teeth.

Hello! We are PopArt. Pleased to meet you. We run a monthly
club with live music and DJs, release records by bands we like and run the
online fanzine PopArt Digest.
Events:
Where it all started back in 2005. Right now you can find us every second
Saturday of the month at The Fly on New Oxford Street, putting on the best
new underground heroes and bona fide indie legends. After the live music fun
we play a shameless mix of indie pop, rock, punk, soul, camp hip hop, stadium
fillers, lost classics and new underground gems.
We also do a few themed all dayers throughout the year - The Britpop flavoured
“BritPopArt”, and the celebration of Belle & Sebastian’s indie pop magic
in a bowling alley that is “Bowl & Sebastian” have become institutions
in their own right, with Bowl & Sebastian now in its third year.
We always hope to do more than shove a few bands on and often involve our
resident compere "Leicester's Funnyman" “The Bullet” Dave Rees for
between band ‘post comedy’ and riotous game shows like ‘Indie Bingo’ or ‘Celebrity
Indie Win Lose Or Draw’.
PopArt London
the record label makes available to play in your own home some of the fantastic
bands we’ve had on at the club. Our first release was a split
7” single on pink vinyl in October 2007, featuring Worcester clatter pop
heroes And What Will Be Left Of Them? and London indie pop 8 piece Brontosaurus
Chorus. This was followed by ‘Covered At Christmas’,
a download album with all profits going to homeless charity St Mungo’s, featuring
bands who have played at PopArt covering each others' songs. Fast-forward
to November 2008 - synth punk heroes Subliminal Girls and their single ‘Self
Obsession Is An Art Form’, available as a download from the usual outlets
and also as a VERY limited edition of just 10 hand finished records with sublime
packaging by artist Stuart
Semple.
PopArt
Digest: An online fanzine, including rollercoaster tales
of this business we call Show with ‘My Life In Rock’ by MJ Hibbett, which
has gone on to spawn an Edinburgh
Festival show of the same name.
