9 ON ITALIAN MTV

FRENCH RADIO SPECIAL ON SOPA
The fine radio show Rockomondo - run by the ever-curious Jean-Pierre Moya - is broadcast of Reims, France. Tomorrow night he will do a special feature on SOPA playing songs from the various releases from the label. Both by the "SOPA artists" and by our friends who joined us on the two compilations we made.
Rockomondo is also a great blog in French which can be read at http://rockomondo.over-blog.com/.



FRIENDS HAVING FUN
In our last newsletter we told you about the return of KURvE. The show was so great that we feel the need to share a bit of video from that show with you. We hope to be jumping around just as much this coming Saturday in Aarhus.

SOPA-founder Lars tumbled around the Spot Festival in Aarhus this past weekend and did some video from the various performances for his 'århus:nu' website. It's been put up here: http://aarhus-nu.dk/2009/05/26/video-spot-festival-2009/
Great bands like Skammens Vogn (on the first SOPA compilation), Cola Freaks and Fossils played. Check 'em out!


Keep it curious! Kisses blown straight from SOPA... who is still... way too real... for wide appeal... ;-)
