Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

David Bash is the founder and CEO of The International Pop Overthrow Music Festival, which is currently held annually in 10 cities around the world, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, New York, Toronto, Vancouver BC, Liverpool UK (at The Cavern Club), Copenhagen, and Stockholm. The festival is dedicated to bring classic pop music - music with the kind of strong melodies and catchy lyrics that tend to stick in your head and make you feel good - to the hearts and minds of the mainstream public. Although the festival has over the years featured several major label acts, such as Phantom Planet, Maroon 5 (under their previous incarnation, Kara's Flowers), and The Click Five, Bash tries to maintain the grassroots feel of the festival by featuring primarily unsigned bands, and presenting them in a festival platform with similar minded artists, where they will be appreciated by both the festival audiences and by each other. True to this grassroots ethic, Bash personally selects all the artists and is a fan of their music, something the bands tend to recognize and appreciate. Each year, Bash produces a CD compilation on the Omnivore Recordings label featuring bands that have played in any of the cities in which the festival has appeared.
