Popes at Palooza

I'm sad to have missed the Smoking Popes at Lollapalooza.

Chicagoans prized the reunited Smoking Popes, a local band that in the mid-1990’s came up with tuneful, sweet-natured punk-pop that now sounds like early emo. On Saturday the band had so many wistful postbreakup songs it could have been singing about its career rather than its romances. (New York Times 8/7/06)
