PAPA's hometown blowout on Thursday night at the Troubadour came off as a little ... well, loose — especially if you'd seen them this spring at South by Southwest , where they hit every note as if they were playing for lunch money. The perils of performing to a sold-out crowd of friends and family? Perhaps. But make no mistake, PAPA sounded like the real deal Thursday, soulful and sturdy, romantically yearning yet frantically self-reliant. After kicking off the show with the galloping single "Put Me to Work," the quartet mostly gave a preview of songs [...]

Springtime is here, so peel off that jacket and put on a slightly lighter jacket. I went traveling a few weeks ago across the ocean, and I spent a lot of it waiting. All the flights, train rides, and everything else that goes with travel. I didn't mind it. Our society is one that drives for us always to busy and productive, and while sitting in a train station with headphones in might not seem like a holiday to most – it does to me. Here's some things that were in my ears while I waited [...]

Graphic by Madeline Rosemurgy ( Source ) We’ve taken a moment to dust ourselves off, catch up on the sleep we missed and nurse our many wounds, but the time has finally come to look back on the legendary time we had at SXSW 2013. Each year, the event seems to get bigger - more people, more bands, more free beer and, mostly, more fun. This year was absolutely no exception, so we decided to not only share our favorite sets and parties with you, we even made a badass playlist (courtesy of Isabella) and collected the best [...]

So it's been said already that the festival has wrapped up and we're all trying to recover as best we can back at work Monday.  It was a fun and exhausting week full of incredible music, tons of booze, and many an old friend.  We're each taking a look back at our week in free live music with some recaps and now it's my turn.  Follow the jump for more. Best Bands: I've gotta agree with [...]

[File under Gettin' an Ass-Whuppin' in Austin ...] The 2013 South by Southwest Music Festival is proving increasingly difficult for those who like to engage in show-hopping — long lines, even for badge-holders, mean time spent waiting instead of exploring. For instance, if you wanted to see Frightened Rabbit (10:05 p.m.) or Alt-J (11:10) on Thursday night, you would have needed to be at the Belmont by 8 because the venue was already full of fans eager to see the Flaming Lips (12:15). So [...]

Graphic by Madeline Rosemurgy ( Source ) Photos by Sarah Wolff The first full day of SXSW was just as amazing as we all expected. While we spent the majority of our day over at our party at Side Bar, where PAPA and Wildcat! Wildcat! dropped our jaws, we were able to sneak away for some amazing sets by Wavves , Skaters , and Team Spirit   at Viceland. Wavves [...]

Matt & Kim brought the party and tore it up in Orange County with a little help from Papa last Friday.

GRAPHIC BY MADELINE ROSEMURGY Whether I feel it or not, this will be my fourth time down to Austin for SXSW. As you'd probably expect, I've learned new things about the festival each and every time - things that have become essential to my surviving the week-long music extravaganza. It occurred to me the other day that not everyone who takes part in the festival knows what to expect, so I decided that we'd lend a hand and share some tips on how to survive the festival and enjoy the amazing adventure that is SXSW. SXSW [...]

In questo mondo di complotti, complottari e massoneria, le coincidenze non possono mai essere un caso. Quando Papa Benedetto XVI si dimise dal suo ruolo , noi notammo subito la strana coincidenza con il fatto che quello stesso giorno, l'11 Febbraio, fosse anche il compleanno di Varg Vikernes, il Burzum che bruciava le chiese. Oggi le strane coincidenze continuano: il dimissionario Ratzinger avrà un titolo sostitutivo, comunicato dal Vaticano. Ci si riferirà a lui come "Papa emerito" . Esattamente lo stesso titolo che porta da sempre il cantante dei Ghost : Papa Emeritus. [...]

The year was 1980. The headline read: Talking Heads and The Clash Together At Last. The result from that magical night: a band called PAPA.andnbsp;Okay, so the above never really happened, but it does p
