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.
