Ever heard of Slint,
Tortoise, Stereolab, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? If you answered yes, then you should know David Pajo a.k.a. Papa M, the guitar genius with a Midas touch, who has played for (or with) the aforementioned groups.
His most recent endeavor, playing with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on their
It's Blitz! tour has come to an end, or at least a pause. David --
donning the moniker Papa M -- will be playing at the "10 Years of ATP" festival in
Minehead, England, and then will be making his way to the U.S. for two
California dates. Mr. Pajo will be playing his 1999 solo project album Live from a Shark Cage, a slow and moody post-rock album with hints of ambient psychedelia. If you somehow missed this album, do yourself a favor and take a listen now. And if you're on the West Coast, grab tickets fast, even if it means canceling holiday plans
