All superb choices. Living in New Orleans, I got to be friends with Alex Chilton. Seeing him play "September Gurls" with Big Star was amazing. Jody Stephens drum break was spot on, and Ken and Jon from The Posies pulled it off superbly that night. And the fact that The Posies opened, and then The Continental Drifters also played (power pop legend Peter Holsapple of The dBs band), it was power pop heaven 😊 ❤️

I thought Segarini reminded me of a poppier April Wine — must be a Canadian sound of the time!;) And The Beckies I also really liked. It had more of a Big Star vibe. Are they British or American? I couldn’t find the answer in a quick search. I know it was recorded in NY but that doesn’t mean anything. And I am sure the coffers are filled with power pop gems like these bands I’ve never heard before. That’s what I count on you for!
