PAPA
Conceived in Los Angeles and born in New York City, Papa have managed to combine the harmonious sensibilities of the west, and the pulse of the east. Once referred to as Joe Strummer and the E Street Band, they embody the maniacal and promising energy of the city they inhabit. Having already independently released their swampy ecstatic full-length record (recalling sounds of influences as varied as the Talking Heads and Tom Waits) and booked 4 east coast and west coast tours, their vigor pervades their live show; a beautiful and bombastic event. Though difficult to classify with any level of authority or accuracy, they have overwhelmingly proven that punk is not a drumbeat or a hairstyle, but an ethos, which seems to permeate even their most melodious of tracks. With their new ep/single release coming out in the early months of 2010, Papa are sure to satisfy the heart and dance floor of the nation alike.
