Boston Pop
Boston Pop Underground is a live music series featuring the best local and national indie pop artists. Andrea Kremer, the founder of Boston Pop Underground, hopes to establish a place where local and national pop acts can play for interested audiences. She started the movement because she felt that there were so many pop bands that deserved to be recognized, and she wanted to introduce them to the fans out in Boston. The model for Boston Pop Underground, which is being co-represented by local rock station WBCN and the IPO organizers, is a Los Angeles club called Largo, where former Bostonian Jon Brion and a coterie of musician friends hang out at on Friday nights. Boston Pop Underground is also a monthly venue that brings personal sophisticated pop to Cambridge, Massachusetts Lizard Lounge. Boston Pop Underground is well known to be the place for serious pop fans to be on the second Thursday every month if they want a taste of what is flourishing in the music scene.

Artist Biography - Boston Pop
|
 The Paradise Lounge and Zuzu!, spin-offs of two local rock clubs, are trying to create a music-friendly, sit-down vibe. Boston Pop Underground encourages silence during performances so that fans can achieve the ultimate musical experience, since there really isn't a club out there where people are encouraged to pay attention. Billy Beard, who opened the Lizard Lounge in 1995, jumped at the chance to contribute to Kremer's project. Beard is a busy sideman who plays drums with local and national acts, and says his perspective on live performances has shifted after years of playing in countless anonymous clubs. Kremer states, 'I see this series as part of a larger indie-pop movement, a grass-roots effort that encompasses venues, labels, non-commercial radio stations, promoters, and fans across the country working together to promote some incredibly talented artists who are flying under the radar'.
