The year is 2012, long foretold by the Mayans, the Bible, Nostradamus, Wikipedia, and John Cusack, among other expert sources, as THE END OF THE WORLD. In honor of this momentous occasion, the Pops announce their 2012 album and tour dates.

THE DARK ALBUM 12/21/12 – CHICKEN LITTLE SOUP – Mayan Penicillin – aPOPaLips Now!

This is likely our last community band recording and possibly the first one with respectable sales due to this type of insipid exploitation.
