Although San Francisco's Noise Pop festival has a ways to go before completing its 2007 lineup, quite a few new artists have made their way on to the event's roster.

The six-day party, now in its 15th year, will run from February 27-March 4. In addition to previously reported performers such as Sebadoh (in their reunited original lineup), Ted Leo/Pharmacists, John Vanderslice, and Jolie Holland, the following are slated to play the festival: Okkervil River's Will Sheff, Clinic, Hella, French Kicks, Josh Ritter, the Black Angels, Macromantics, Richard Swift, Autolux, Midlake, Earlimart, Vic Chesnutt, Ghostland Observatory, Midlake, Pop Levi, and Seawolf.

San Francisco's Mezzanine, Bottom of the Hill, Café du Nord, Great American Music Hall, Independent, Swedish American Hall, Slim's, and Fillmore clubs will house the Noise Pop acts.

The Swedish American Hall will also serve as home base for the event's first-ever Noise Pop Expo, a two-day (March 3-4) panel/design fair/art installation/poster show extravaganza. Noise Pop will once again hold its annual film festival as well.

In the mean time, fans can attend Vodka Latka: Festival of Rights, a Hanukah celebration from Noise Pop in conjunction with JDub Records (and affiliated with Reboot and the Progressive Jewish Alliance) scheduled for tonight (December 13) and tomorrow at the El Rey and the Independent, respectively. Both evenings will feature cocktails, latkas (as you can probably guess from the title), menorah lightings (a couple days early), and appearances from Golem, DJ Anaan, and more. All proceeds to go charity.
