Papadosio wsg: flow trio
Date: December 4, 2009 BUY TICKETS It is rare for Bands to have such control, understanding, and objectivity they create and produce their music. Young, freakishly mature, and wise beyond their years, Papadosio has just released a sophisticated work of art. This skillfully orchestrated jamtronic record refreshes, rearranges and gracefully does what is impossible for most bands. And that's why Papadosio's self titled release is happening in a big way. The record moves with pushing and pulling arrangements which blend its electronic soundscapes that bloom into guitars and rock and roll and back again. Downtempos and arrpegiations emerge within each other, which wrap and twist into the heights of the record. Layers of depth and space are constant throughout. Front to back and between tracks, every seam is manicured and treated with sonic brilliance. The result is a slick integration of electronic and organic textures that blend and blur with precission and feeling. |

badfish a tribute to sublime wsg: Scotty Don't and Boogie Matrix Mechanism
Date: February 25, 2010 Press Release PDF Location: BUY TICKETS The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime's music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime's essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does. http://www.badfish.com/ |
