More Hillside Pop!

Pop Montreal's Pop Off - the traveling contingent from the Montreal festival - looks to have added another act to the already impressive lineup of Clues, and Witchies.

Gambletron which is a lone female, Lisa Gamble, apparently making a lot of noise and should be a part of the Hillside Festival as well.

Technically this is Pop Off Tour II, though Pop Montreal had a showcase at the Hillside Festival in '07, '08 and will again this year.

I'll mention that The Dears are playing a free show at the Harbourfront Center in Toronto on Sunday July 26 (Hillside Sunday). Naturally speculation would say that since they're around they could be that rumoured other headliner (after all, Gentleman Reg is playing Harbourfront AND Hillside that weekend, though Amy Millan isn't - yet). However gut instinct tells me they won't - either way I'm not too concerned as I find them to be a bit of a yawn.
