Sunshine pop / rock - a certain type of popular music, most often characterized by a cheerful attitude, harmony singing, and sophisticated production.
Hey there. Morty here. I’m one of the managers for Poppermost. Please pull up a branch and let’s get down to brass tacks. It's time to clean house, so we're in the process of clipping the wings of our friend list to clear things out a bit.
We want this space to be a community for actual friends that care about us and we, them. We're more interested in quality than numbers, so a bunch of psuedo friends just WON’T fly - we believe in personal contact, actually saying hi, and listening to your music and/or what you have to say. Is it too much to want the same of you? Good, let's talk turkey.
Morty
Randomly sending friend requests using robots is mishuggah. If you really want in, send us a message first and you'll be more likely to be added.
So come on by, listen to the music, and leave us a comment every once in a while, bubbellah. We will do the same for you. We'll always do our best to stay in touch.
Now for why you're here in the first place...
That said, it was time for a new plan, so me and my partner, Sol (you'll meet him later), cooked up an idea. See, July 4th is Poppermost's anniversary / birthday -- the band is six years old, and it seemed to be the perfect time for a RE-birthday here in good old Sin City.
So, here's the deal. With drastic cuts in funding for music and creative arts classes in public schools nation-wide, Poppermost decided to add another dimension to its band activities –- a SchoolHouse Rock meets School of Rock hybrid dedicated to teaching the history of popular music, from ABBA to ZZ Top. Enter Lex Neon, Ms. Tex Duckingham (no relation to Lindsay), and Vegas Royal.
In addition to sharing their own music with you here in MySpace, they're planning to have short lessons called "Moments in Pop Music History," led by band member, and all around "walking music encyclopedia," Lex Neon. A former teacher, Lex himself was a product of the now endangered public school music programs.
It's all about helping to change the lives of budding artists and at-risk youth that dream of expressing themselves creatively and freely through music by planting the seeds of music in a child's imagination.
Hey there. How is the moving coming along? Almost done? I know how much NON fun moving can be! Let me know how the new place is. We luv ya guys and gals!

Hey there stranger. How are things going? I am good. I haven't heard from or seen you guys in a while. What are you up to besides Alex getting his locks of hair cut. Send me a message some time soon. Talk to you soon.
Another series of Hot Summer Days are upon us. I really want to get in touch and hang out at our house soooon. There is alot we can share with each other including motivation and skills to make a more enjoyable musical journey. By the way I loved the defense of your sound by those who read the Wiki def. See you soon.John and Annette.
Wishing you all a great 4th of July! I always enjoy listening to your tunes and "Liv Says" sounds fantastic! Glad you liked that Byrds tune .. it's one of my favorites too!
Love from here as well!! The "Pattie's Record Wolrd" mix sounds like it's going to be awesome! "Money" is certainly one of my faves of their covers. You know, if I were a band back then, I don't know if I would be honored that the Beatles were covering my song or scared to death that they'd do it so much better, nobody would want to hear my version! I mean...who requests the Isley Bros version of "Twist And Shout"?!
Aww, good to hear from you! All is well here, and hope only the same for you. Yes, that was quite an exciting evening for me. :-) As always, love you guys!! ♥ Liv
