Road to the 2007 NYC Popfest: The Ballet


The Ballet from New York

Until looking over the lineups for the Popfest this year I'd never heard of The Ballet. However, what I now know is that a.) they're from New York and b.) they're pretty good. They make pretty catchy drum-machine led indiepop in the vein of something like The Magnetic Fields or The Mathletes, with handclaps, electronic bleeps, and other fun stuff. The Ballet will be playing the 8PM show on May 26th with Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Harvey Williams, The Ballet, and more!

The Ballet are great! You really should check some European blogs. Coast Is Clear featured The Ballet more than a year ago and is constantly posting interesting indie pop gems (and NO - Coast Is Clear is NOT my blog :))
