Papadosio presents Acoustic Live, an eleven-track album captured during their 2022 four-night run at City Winery in Atlanta, GA and Nashville, TN. The LP features the band's curated selections from the series performed in rare acoustic splendor, with fan favorites such as Epiphany, The Elephant I Presume, Unparalyzer, and Mr. Turtles Cloud Kingdom. Eclectic instrumentation takes the spotlight to reveal a more mellow side of these familiar songs, now available on all major platforms.

Deftly navigating the tricky confluence of prog rock, livetronica, jazz, and jam, Papadosio is a crossover act that has amassed a rabid fan base across North America thanks to a steady stream of innovative albums, hundreds of live recordings, and a decade and a half of consistent touring. From their humble midwest origins, Papadosio's grassroots operation has grown to overflowing clubs and theaters around the country and cemented their reputation as a must-see act.

Now based in Asheville, North Carolina, the dynamic five-piece featuring a battery of Mike Healy and Rob McConnell on drums and bass, keyboardists/vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Sam Brouse and Billy Brouse, and guitarist/producer Anthony Thogmartin remain doggedly devoted to writing new music and pushing technological boundaries in their downtime, and expanding the size and scope of their existing catalog live on stage and in the moment.

Papadosio’s entire discography is self-written, recorded, produced, and independently released. Their fingers touch every plucked, struck, strummed, and programmed note that emerges from the studio. Complex harmonies and challenging rhythms are the lifeblood of each composition, and a stunning visual show synchronized with the music enhances the immersive live experience. Papadosio offers one-of-a-kind experiences to each attendee, with more than 150 shows per year over the past decade. In the band’s 16-year history, no one has heard a song—let alone a set—played the same way twice.

TAUK, the dynamic progressive rock-fusion quartet, are joining forces with Doom Flamingo's incendiary vocalist Kanika Moore, for a special livestream broadcasting from Brooklyn Bowl in New York on Saturday, February 25th. The exclusive TAUK Moore livestream will showcase new and original material from their forthcoming collaborative LP together.

TAUK and Kanika Moore are no strangers to pushing the boundaries of their respective genres, and this collaboration promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience for fans of both bands.

“After a number of energetic and powerful live collaborations with Kanika including Electric Forest in 2018, Peach Festival, and Resonance Festival in 2021, we decided to jump in the studio and write a song... which turned into her spending two weeks with us, resulting in Moore songs,” says the band. “The tunes conjured up during these sessions are the basis of our TAUK Moore Tour.”

The instrumental prowess of TAUK carries an ever-evolving groove that offers endless possibilities. Moore’s powerful and soulful vocals add a new dimension to the band’s melodic fusion, creating a hard–charging sound that is fresh and captivating.

The TAUK Moore ensemble is excited to announce that they will be livestreaming their February 25th show at Brooklyn Bowl in New York, which will air simultaneously on FANS and The Relix Channel on Twitch. The free livestream will broadcast across both platforms live at 8PM ET.

Hopeful and otherworldly, Papadosio’s newest single ‘Spinning’ may come as a bit of a surprise to even long-time fans. The song incorporates elements of synth pop with their signature, dreamy lyrics and a soulful message. Ethereal waves of wispy guitar flow past the listener, pairing perfectly with the laidback drums to fit the sublime nature of the tune. The band’s eloquent message imparts an introspective quality to the track, encouraging the listener to gaze inward and treat our time on this Earth as a chance to live one’s passion.

"This is a song about learning to love the morning and remembering that each day is an opportunity to be your best version of ourselves; to live as the universe experiencing itself as gently and with as much grace as possible.” - Samuel Brouse

Celebrated jam-meets-jazztronica band Papadosio returns with ‘To Live A Making’, their ninth studio album. After more than 15 years of writing and performing together, the five-piece ensemble still prioritizes pushing their individual boundaries in playful yet purposeful ways. Transmuting life experience into audible adventure, they have collaboratively brought forth an LP that is consequently informed by their catalog while simultaneously superseding it. The record explores expressive aesthetics from psyche rock to synth wave, offering a tasteful cross-section of combined influence from a group of musicians known for their improvisational skill in the live setting.

This is the work of a mature creative body, with each organ beating in perfect cadence. Rhythm and pulse, held steadfast by drummer Mike Healy, shift smoothly between the familiar to the adventurous. In consonant accord, Rob McConnell’s hefty bass elements give harmonic context to the ever-evolving meter throughout. Brothers Sam and Billy Brouse are oft heard melodically dueling, with Sam’s eloquent vocal chops and keyboard prowess melding pleasingly with Billy’s spacious synthscapes and clever sound design. Apart from his articulate lyrics, Anthony Thogmartin provides diverse guitar stylings ranging from charming to colossal, rounding out a time-tested faction of accomplished composers that is the band Papadosio.

“The album is a story about life: a timely commentary at a pivotal moment in human history that is dedicated to pondering prevailing mainstream cultural narratives. The music aims to inspire notions that life itself is creative, that love is real, and that together we could thrive if only we could tell ourselves the right stories and ask ourselves the right questions.”

- Sam Brouse

In the band’s 16-year history, no one has heard a song—let alone a set—played the same way twice.

Today marks a milestone for the Midwest funk and jam quartet, Dizgo, as they unveil their electrifying debut single, "Rainbow Lightning." This release is not just a new song; it's an auditory adventure that showcases the band's devotion to pushing the limits of genre and sound.

Crafted in the band's own rehearsal studio, "Rainbow Lightning" is Dizgo's first foray into fully self-produced music, capturing the raw energy and passion that has become synonymous with their name. This single is an early taste of the much-anticipated Melt LP, an album that promises to encapsulate the essence of the band's spirited and experimental vibe.

"Rainbow Lightning" takes listeners on a vibrant journey, blending infectious dance rhythms with the improvisational flair of jamtronica and the soul of funk. The track's chorus and hook are set to resonate deeply with fans, both old and new, demonstrating why Dizgo has become a renowned force in live performance circuits.

Beyond the layers of lush instrumentation lies a story of inspiration drawn from real-life magic witnessed at Secret Dreams 2022. As the band prepared to take the stage, nature's own light show mirrored the tumultuous yet beautiful journey of their music and lives. This duality of joy and challenge, the calm and the storm, is artfully woven into the fabric of "Rainbow Lightning."

Jake Evatt, a member of Dizgo, reflects on the inspiration behind the track: "It's about recognizing that the good and the bad are inseparable. We embrace the chaos and the calm with equal passion. That's what drives our music, our performances, and our lives."

Dizgo is not just a band; it's a movement, a mindset. As described by Space Tapes, their name evokes "a dizzier disco," a blend of sounds and experiences that culminates in an unmatched dance party. Having captivated audiences at major festivals and alongside top acts, Dizgo is poised to take their studio work to new heights with their third album and the awe-inspiring single, "Rainbow Lightning."

"Rainbow Lightning" is available now for streaming and download at https://fanlink.to/Dizgo-RainbowLightning. Join the journey, feel the music, and dance into the world of Dizgo.
