Prepare yourself to see Violens and The King Left perform live in a setting you never expected to see them before. POPROCKS are family friendly concerts that invite hip mom and dads to take their kids with them to concerts that present top-notch indie artists and bands so they can interact altogether in a new musical environment. Kids have the opportunity to participate in a jam session with artists, which makes the whole experience very entertaining to both parents and kids.

VIOLENS


With synths that contrast rosy melodies and ornament speculating messages described in their lyrics, Violens made "Violent Sensation Descends" a phenomenon that spread within the blog scene and indie magazine reviews with the same effectiveness as a mortal virus. This New York-via Miami group of four recreates sounds that need to be touched and images that need to be heard, it is all part of the great play of the fantastic. An international class act, Violens proposes a reminiscence of 1960's British indie scene as a hallmark of their personality. They have recently opened for such bands as MGMT, Grizzly Bear and Deerhunter.

THE KING LEFT


Former upstate NY film students made a sweet career move and got together to create a band that is rapidly making history through the always crowded indie world: The King Left. They've already broken CMJ top 100 twice with songs "I Have to Let You Win (Stop Trying)" and "The Storm in a Teacup". Also, they've been listed in The Deli Magazine's top 10 of Emerging NYC Artists of 2008 and "Best Unsigned Bands" by Alternative Press. Their catchy appealing rock tunes have drawn the attention of bands like Tokyo Police Club and We Are Scientists.
