The 17th annual Noise Pop festival in San Francisco gave the Baumvision crew a chance to see some of our favorite performers. Noise Pop is San Francisco's favorite indie music, arts and film festival. Since its humble birth in 1993,the festival 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.

Stephen Malkmus can currently be seen in solo performances or with his latest band The Jicks. He is most famously known for being in Pavement, whose series of deluxe reissues continues with their fourth album Brighten the Corners.

Kelly Stoltz is a singer/songwriter from San Francisco whose music has been compared to that of Brian Wilson, the Velvet Underground, Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. He is currently on Sub Pop Records and his last release was 2008's Circular Sounds.

Mark Eitzel is a musician, best known as a songwriter and lead singer of the San Francisco band American Music Club, which recently reformed after a decade long hiatus.
