Pop festival comes to town
By John Choquette | February 21The last time Chapel Hill band The Huguenots played a show, they wound up stranded off of I-540 in Raleigh fixing a blown-out tire with their stage gear -- psychedelic shirts and dress shoes - still on. The group said they're hoping that their next gig, the International Pop Overthrow festival at Local 506, will run a bit more smoothly. The festival, founded in 1998 in Los Angeles by David Bash, is coming to Chapel Hill for the first time this weekend and aims to bring attention to bands that Bash said aren't getting enough of it.
