NYC Popfest-fest 2011

So this past weekend was the 2011 NYC Popfest. Although I was too broke to buy the 4-day pass, I did manage to attend two shows of the fest: Saturday's show at Santos Party House in Manhattan and Sunday's show at The Rock Shop in Brooklyn. I wouldn't've even been able to afford two shows had it not been for the kindness of Neil and Alexis of the Australian pop band, The Motifs. They added me to their guest list for Sunday's show after I loaned them my Angel 27k glockenspiel for a few of their songs, which you can see in action in one of the videos I'm posting below. Thanks, guys.
