It will be fun to hear about the band back in the day, getting their start right here in West Michigan!
What was your first Pop Evil concert? Did you see them at The Intersection? The Orbit Room? I think mine might have been 2007 at the Whiskey Lounge? Ya know, we had A LOT of fun back in the day... so maybe my memory is a little hazy, haha!
But I definitely remember thinking how talented Pop Evil are and how genuinely KIND as well. Such great people; it's been so wonderful to watch them evolve over the years -- and to welcome them back to Grand Rapids whenever we can!
Here are some videos of the fun we've had hanging out with Pop Evil over the years!
Can't wait until we can have them back home for a big West Michigan rock show!
We're also excited for Pop Evil's new album, the band's 6th, that they've been working on. Hopefully Leigh will update us on that tonight too!
Here's their new song "Work" that you've been hearing on GRD! They just released the new animated music video!
