About Noise Pop & NPI
“Since it’s inception in 1993, San Francisco’s Noise Pop Festival has grown into one of the most respected indie rock extravaganza’s in the country” - Pitchfork
Established in San Francisco in 1993, Noise Pop started as a yearly festival of independent music that featured the best local bands the city had to offer. Over the last 16 years it has grown into a widely respected brand. Noise Pop prides itself on bringing exposure to emerging artists, many of whom have gone on to widespread acclaim, including the White Stripes, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, Bright Eyes, The Donnas, Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco) and Silversun Pickups. The festival has also featured underground music legends such as Bob Mould, X, Frank Black (of the Pixies), Sleater Kinney, and Television.
The founders of Noise Pop formed Noise Pop Industries (NPI for short) in 2006 as an engine to take the successful Noise Pop brand into new arenas of entertainment, culture and business. NPI provides valuable business development consulting, strategy and marketing and is also a full-scale production company that produces the Noise Pop Festival, the Treasure Island Festival, ongoing specials events including concerts, films, readings and gallery shows, as well as a number of other projects. NPI develops Noise Pop through a program that includes original audio and video content, merchandising, and an online presence. Noise Pop's mission is to be a premier source of high quality independent events, music, media, art, and merchandise to our expanding community.
