 Now what exactly is a PopTart?...PopTarts is a night of female-fronted pop bands and female songwriters...get it? ..tarts ...pop? A concept put together by Amanda Easton and now run by her and the fabulous Pablo, it brings together some of the best girl pop talent in Sydney...as well as attracting artists from all over Australia. Going South! Ron Brown - MMF board member and well-known and respected in the music industry as a successful music publisher, filmmaker and promoter - is taking the concept to Melbourne. PopTarts South is starting at The Eurotrash Bar in May 2007. To be a part of it or just to find out more, just jump onto Myspace: visit www.myspace.com/poptartssouth
      So what's
this we heard about boys being part of PopTarts?! After PopTarts had been going
for a while, the boys started to catch on and wanted to be a part of it! Because
there were so many fabulous male pop performers in town, and the PopTarts
concept was about forming a community - not leaving anybody out, we decided to
create a night especially for the boys. The name may be tongue-in-cheek
but the artists and bands you'll see perform at this night, take their pop music
very seriously. We've had some fabulous performers at this event, with acts
including Nick Hardcastle, Lindsay Rimes, Russell Crawford, Michael Carpenter,
Matt Cornell, Simon Morel, Kieran Glasgow, Arnott, Darryl Beaton, Kitch,
Jonah's Road, Kieran Lancini, Phil Barton and many more. We usually put a
PopStuds night on in the second Monday of the month - but check the schedule
below for updates, or join our

Its birthplace is The Empire Hotel, on the corner of Johnston and Parramatta Roads in Annandale, Sydney, and it
has already had almost six very successful years under its belt.
But it doesn't end there...PopTarts has already started to take on the uni circuit,
it's put together charity nights like the 'Tarts for Timor' series, we've had
groups of PopTarts performing up and down the East Coast, with 'Tarts on Tour' and
it has no plans to slow down! See
below for exact schedules and artists coming up at PopTarts...
There are
four to five different acts on each night, one or two usually in acoustic mode,
the others as full bands, starting at 7:30pm. The nights are designed for artists to present the 'best' of their work, within a thirty minute time frame. We decided not to have a door charge so
that the artists could get the biggest possible walk-in crowd and get the
opportunity to build up their fan base. you'll usually see PopTarts host Amanda
Easton performing and hosting on the first Monday of each month. So far we've had
other artists and bands including: Robyn Loau, moneypenny, Morgana (ex-Nitocris) & the Monstars, Fyreflies, Ezmerelda, Yolanda Thomas, Amber Rees, Maz,
Evelyn Duprai, Sarah Humphries, Jo Elms, Miss Little, Living with Amy, MEATBEE,
Me-Lee's Mosaic, Silvana, butterfly 9, gilli moon, Sarah
McGregor, Sandy Klose, Akradia and many more through the Tarts' doors..
