Over the past five years, Papadosio has created a hybrid
blend of Pop, Jam, Psychedelia, Fusion and Electronica that synthesizes
the interesting elements of each without homogenizing them into an
indistinguishable mass. The pinnacle of Papadosio’s musical chemistry
process was evidenced by the quintet’s last album, 2009’s Observations,
where Synth Pop burbled and blipped in close proximity to stuttering
time signatures and loose-limbed drumming, Ambient Electronic textures
and full bore Rock excursions into the center of the mind’s all-seeing
eye. The band is finishing up work on a double album, slated for release
early next year.
Formed in Athens, Ohio, in 2006 and currently based in
Asheville, N.C., Papadosio’s road-doggery includes a relentless tour
schedule and every appropriate music festival in this hemisphere.
Like
the majority of their Jam peers, Papadosio endorses live taping for
sharing and trading.
At last check, the Internet Archive at www.archive.org
had 41 Papadosio gigs available for free download, and there are
countless message boards to obtain even more (check YouTube for
documentation of the band’s wild light show).
