The Importance of Being Pop

Saturday Mayhem 5 9PM-12AM
Hosted By Cocktailsfor2 & Zero Gravity

From The Kinks, Small Faces, and The Who through The Raspberries, Badfinger, and The Flamin' Groovies to Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and The Knack, Power Pop was more than just hooks - it was a distinctive style with melody, jangly guitars, immaculate harmonies, and an attitude.

Guests Cyril Jordan and Chris Wilson from the Flamin' Groovies (whose 1978 "Shake Some Action" is an early Power Pop classic) join Cocktailsfor2 and Zero Gravity in talking about the progenitors and performers of Power Pop, what constitutes a great Power Pop tune, and much more.
