Mike Shupp was invited to perform at the International Pop Overthrow festival in Los Angeles, for a half hour set at The Gig, Sat. July 24th, in West L.A.; but alas, with only 3 days notice having been given, the logistics proved sufficiently daunting that the decision was made to take a pass on this one, with an agreement to appear at next year’s show (with a little more notice!) Watch this space for next year’s news…
