Band Members: Now what exactly is a PopTart?...PopTarts is a night of female-fronted pop bands and female songwriters and has also become a community of artists sharing opportunities...get it? ..tarts ...pop? A concept put together by Amanda Easton, it brings together some of the best girl pop talent in Sydney...as well as attracting artists from all over Australia.
If you want to be a PopTarts artist and perform a set as part of the showcase, contact us here by sending us a message with your MySpace page link! You can also get us at [email protected] or send your demo and bio to Amanda at: PopTarts, PO Box 907, Leichhardt, NSW 2040. Oh and yes, the boys felt left out, so every now and again we do a showcase especially for them. We call it PopStuds. The name is tongue in cheek but these boys take their pop very seriously!
We have just found a new homebase - The Unity Hall Hotel in Darling Street, Balmain - so send us a message if you'd like a gig with us!
Influences:
Sounds Like: There are four to six different acts on each night, one or two usually in acoustic mode, the others as full bands, starting at 7:30pm. The nights are designed for artists to present the 'best' of their work, within a thirty minute time frame. We decided not to have a door charge so that the artists could get the biggest possible walk-in crowd and get the opportunity to build up their fan base. You may see PopTarts host Amanda Easton performing and hosting on the first Monday of each month. So far we've had other artists and bands including: Robyn Loau, moneypenny, Morgana (ex-Nitocris) & the Monstars, Fyreflies, Ezmerelda, Yolanda Thomas, Amber Rees, Maz, Evelyn Duprai, Sarah Humphries, Jo Elms, Miss Little, Living with Amy, MEATBEE, Me-Lee's Mosaic, Silvana, butterfly 9, gilli moon, Sarah McGregor, Sandy Klose, Akradia and many more through the Tarts' doors..
