We've just added a show at Spaceland with The Autumns..
And here's another occult flyer:



It's 21+, so anyone underage will just have to wait until Tuesday's show at Chain Reaction!
See you soon.

Love,
Joe

Look at this good flyer I made last night!



Spooky, yeah?
Makes you want to go to the show, doesn't it? All sorts of things could be going on that night!
Well, it won't be a Satanic Mass in the woods as the video suggests, but it will still be good.

See you then!
Love,
Joe

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?

I'll tell you.

Last week was our mini-tour.. I mean really mini. We played The Key Club in Hollywood on Tuesday, April 24, and then The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco on Wednesday, April 25. We were going to play a third date on the Thursday in Santa Barbara, but we ended up not doing that. That'll be a story for another time, I guess. Or, I can never mention it again, and leave you to make your own suppositions as to why that show didn't happen. Mysterious!

Anyway, we've got some good pictures and video here.
This is us playing "Santa Ana" at The Key Club..


And here's Luke in the van on the way to San Francisco:


Nico playing air guitar at a gas station somewhere near Bakersfield:


And all of us leaning into the wind in Soledad, outside a Carl's Jr.:


Good trip.
Talk to you later.

For the last few months we've been busy recording with our friend Bryce Martin, and finally we have new music to share with you. The new material also features our incredible drummer, Nico.

We're living with these mixes for a couple of weeks before we do our final bits of tweaking, but we're excited about this stuff, so we thought we'd share some of it with you on myspace... whether you want us to or not!

We've put some new material down and re-recorded songs that you may already be familiar with. Right now we've uploaded new versions of "DIY", "Don't Fool Yourself" and "In Like a Lion". We've also included "Santa Ana", which you might know from our live shows. The sessions also included recordings of "Girls of Prey", "The Seaside", "Perfect", "Bang The Drum" and "How The West Was Won".

Hopefully all this and more will be available soon on an album.. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the rough mixes that we are sharing with you online.

Love,
Pop Noir

"Blogger" is such a jerk! I can't figure it out. Why can't I title my posts anymore? This is ridiculous.

Anyway... we've just added a show at Chain Reaction in Anaheim on May 8th. It's all ages, and we'll be playing with Monsters Are Waiting and The Deadly Syndrome. The tickets are $10... which is a bargain, I know!!!
Who knows when we'll be playing Orange County again after this? We don't, so you better come out, you might not see us for a while!!!

In other news, I (Luke) have had two drawings published this week in the LA Record and The District Weekly. The drawings are of Blood Brothers and Raekwon, respectively. Keep an eye out for them!

My favourite bit in that one is the description of Pop Noir as "The Arctic Monkeys without acne".

Merci beaucoup, a bientôt!

There's a brief mention of our performance at the Beauty Bar on San Diego's nightlife blog "Napkin Nights".
Follow this link to read more, and check out some pictures from the night here.

There'll be more news soon, I'm sure of it!

Pop Noir have been busy little fellows these past few weeks.. that's my excuse for not updating this blog for ages again.
We have done some good stuff, though! This blog post will be part 1 of 2 in which I will share our adventures for the week of April 2 - April 9.
Monday night we were at the Viper Room. We're very proud of ourselves, as it was our first time headlining the Indie 103.1 sponsored weekly show and, not to sound too cocky or anything, we were pretty great! The sound there was good, too. What fun! Our pal Jennie Warren took some excellent photos, which I will now show you.. hold onto, er, your hats, or something!





Okay! That's my post covering Monday.. Later on I'll post some pictures etc. from last night's show in San Diego..
Byyyeeee.
