The SF Popfest rolled through town this weekend, and I made sure I was at the Rickshaw Stop Saturday night for a rare appearance from Portland's All Girl Summer Fun Band featuring the always-awesome Kathy Foster of the Thermals as well as Jen Sbragia of the Softies and Kim Baxter (Ari Douangpanya left the band shortly after they released their fantastic second album).  The trio lived up to their name at the Rickshaw no problem, delivering a bouncy set of twee-tinged indie pop as they shared the vocals amongst the three of them.  The only thing that detracted from my evening was an unfortunate encounter with an incredibly rude fellow audience member, but that is a story best saved for another time.
