We had an excellent time at SF Popfest this year!  Special thanks to Aaron for asking us to play again; it felt great to play the new songs with a full backing band.  Here’s a review of the show from the The Bay Bridged:

Antarctica Takes It! (Oakland) was hands down the cutest band of the  night.  In fact, they may be the cutest band of all time, and I mean  that in a good way.   All five of them looked fresh outta band camp,  oozed the energized exuberance of youth and wore serious perma-smiles.   The male vocalist swapped guitar for ukulele, while the uber cute female  vocalist brought fresh style and delivery to the wonderfully wordy  ballads a la Belle and Sebastian.  The whole band was psyched to be  playing and said so repeatedly, as it was apparent this was only their  second performance with the current line-up.
