The “Jappy Pops” are an electronica (or, according to them, "post techno stadium rave") outfit from Derry, Northern Ireland. They’ll be getting the party going at the Sunday Session in the red Marquee, sandwiched between Tim Healey and Sonny J. Also known as Jap Pops, Popstars or The Japstars don't do anything new, groundbreaking or high on intellect - but then again, this is electro. Their only job is to get butts wigglin’ and pretend that they are musicians--and there is no doubt they will do that.

It will be interesting to be at the big red barn just to see the reaction of those expecting something literal. The Japanese Popstars. In Japan. Such wit. Such irony.

Here is their horror movie-licious PV for “Facemelter”:
