Glasgow band Popup have been selected by a panel of New York University students as the UK unsigned band that they most want to see perform at the Britbus Tour final in New York 15 -19 June 2007. As winners the band will fly to New York and play at The Knitting Factory, Hoboken Parks and The Hard Rock Cafe NYC, and receive prizes that include a Premier Percussion drum kit, a Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar and an Ashdown bass amp!!

Other exciting news for Popup is that Adi their drummer has just been selected as the first female drummer to be endorsed by Premier Percussion in their 85 year history! Similarly, Michael has received endorsement from Ashdown for his bass amp. The band have been added to the sync roster of Danny Benair at The Natural Energy Lab Los Angeles who are responsible for placing artists like Bloc Party, 1990s, Tom Waits etc in advertisements, film and TV shows like Greys Anatomy and The O.C.
