The Pooh Sticks reform exclusively for Indietracks

80s indie scene mockers The Pooh Sticks will reform to make an exclusive at this year's Indietracks Festival.

The 80's Welsh act brought their ramshackle pop charm to lighten up the indie scene. Their debut single 'On Tape' mocked obsessive indie fans and was followed by a box set of one-sided 7" singles featuring the track 'I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well'.

Swedish punk-pop act Love Is All formed from the ashes of indiepop group Girlfriendo in 2005. The band will be showcasing tracks from their new album 'Two Thousand and Ten Injuries'.

The festival, which takes place from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th July 2010, is held in the grounds of Butterley Station, a picturesque 1950s steam railway in Derbyshire, will also play host to Pains Of Being Pure At Heart who headline. Acts also confirmed include Allo Darlin', Ballboy, Be Like Pablo, Betty and The Werewolves, Boy Genius, The Cannanes, Cineplexx, Fanfarlo, Foxes!, The Give It Ups, The Just Joans, The Loves, MJ Hibbett & the Validators, Onward Chariots, Sarandon, Shrag, The Smittens, Standard Fare, Stars of Aviation, The Sunny Street, This Many Boyfriends, White Town, and Winston Echo, and many more.
