Age policy: 16+ with ID / under 16 with a parent or guardian Intertwined with evolution lies design. Nature casts blueprints for transition that resemble reinvention. Embryo, larva, pupa and imago mark the lifespan of the caterpillar, and nestled in the depths of metamorphosis lie dormant cells with an ancient memory of the future embedded within. Like a caterpillar caught in an age of uncertain direction, a five-piece band is creating a path for themselves through their multi-faceted approach to the art of live music. Since banding together in 2006, Papadosio (including Anthony Thogmartin, Mike Healy, Rob McConnell, and Sam & Billy Brouse) has grown to become a tour de force in a music industry constantly undergoing dramatic changes, successes, and struggles. Nationally recognized for their tenacious touring schedule, independently produced albums and events, and bountiful discography of both studio and live recordings, the band and its fanbase continue to grow every year with the dedicated support of a community of attentive listeners around the globe. Celebrated for their sprawling catalog of original material, unpredictable setlists and entrancing improvisations, Papadosio's live performance now headlines a host of events from theaters to festivals, both internationally and all across the United States. Inside every night's set, each band member meticulously collects and presents a world of sound that weaves together both digital and analog currents into a style of music reflective of the world we live in. Articulate melodies meet primal drums and bass, while oscillating pedals and vintage keys battle with future synths and modified scripts - conjuring images reminiscent of a space age musical exploring the essence of power in the presence of fragility, the meaning of light in the midst of darkness. Placed within this complex design of sound are original lyrics and a carefully crafted live visual mix and lighting design, that connect the music and the body to the mind and the soul - modern medicine for a struggling planet and divided race. Through this time-tested formula, the band, the lights, the vision and the crowd ignite and illuminate, reminding us that even if we don't know we are going, we can at least go there together. Papadosio prepares to hit the road again this fall in search of a hidden genetic blueprint that may lead the way to the next stage of evolution with the Imaginal Cells Tour, a biologically inspired flight into light, media and sound taking place in over 35 cities across the United States this fall 2014.
