Found in: Music, NewsWild Weekend in store for Austin power-pop fans
The great irony of power pop acts is that, well, most of them aren't all that popular. Most of them are outsiders, even unabashed nerds like Cheap Trick or Weezer, trying to take over the airwaves with a skewed version of Top 40 songcraft. They're far too often the kids with big dreams and bigger hooks, left wondering why they can't break through to the big time.... read more

New Orleans continues to celebrate those traditions with its 10th annual Voodoo Music Experience.
