The PAP DX Blog: July 2015
http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The PAP DX Blog. Thursday, 23 July 2015. Saint Etienne presents ' How We Used To Live'. As we first noticed upon leaving Fuzz Club last Christmas after the Nouvelle Vague gig. Saint Etienne were due to appear in February. And we were not going to miss it. If only they had included "Pale Movie". Oh, and like the Blues Pills singer on the last gig I went. She knew that we had recently had a general election but also that there was a change of government. 01 How We Used To Live. 03 I've Got Your Music.

The PAP DX Blog. Monday, 10 August 2015. Dustbowl (and more) @ the 4th Music Highway Festival. Having already seen Dustbowl on their Johnny Cash Tribute Show. I wanted to see them again, playing their own songs this time. The 4th Music Highway Festival last March was a perfect opportunity for that. Little did I know that I would discover 2 other bands as well, 4LT and the hosts Mr. Highway Band. (Penny Dreadful I already knew from their gig with The Western Ramblers. While waiting for the hosts, Mr. ...

The PAP DX Blog. Friday, 29 May 2015. Boxing Day with The Big Nose Attack. More festive fun, the day after Christmas with The Big Nose Attack. I had seen them only two months before, at the end of the summer at the same venue on their Vinyl Release Party. However, I missed their big hit "Yeah! Well, not early enough, I missed the first band, Drunken Gramophone, but I was lucky enough to catch the second one, Underjoyed with an incredible stage presence by lead singer Athena. However I look forward to see...

The PAP DX Blog: The Last Of The Famous Vegetarian Cowboys
http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-last-of-famous-vegetarian-cowboys.html
The PAP DX Blog. Wednesday, 13 May 2015. The Last Of The Famous Vegetarian Cowboys. I bought my ticket for the Morrissey concert in Athens back in September last year. So in order to prepare myself, during my trip to England for the Bryan Adams concert. I had taken with me Morrissey's Autobiography as a reading companion. Madness and The Beastie Boys. I did not really mind. And that's where reading his Autobiography came handy, since it was in there that he described them and how they shaped his childhoo...

The PAP DX Blog: A Broken Frame - Then And Now
http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-broken-frame-then-and-now.html
The PAP DX Blog. Wednesday, 5 August 2015. A Broken Frame - Then And Now. From time to time, apart from concert reviews, I also post album reviews. On this blog. Not everything I buy of course, just those ones that are special to me. "A Broken Frame" by Marsheaux definitely falls into that category. It's not a "covers album", but instead a "cover album". An exact, track-by-track cover of the the second album by Depeche Mode from 1982. On the other hand "Monument", "Satellite" and "Shouldn't Have Done Tha...

The PAP DX Blog: Marsheaux Live In Athens 2007-2014
http://papdx.blogspot.com/2014/07/marsheaux-live-in-athens-2007-2014.html
The PAP DX Blog. Thursday, 24 July 2014. Marsheaux Live In Athens 2007-2014. Before we begin, let's go back in time a little bit. As far back as 1988 in fact. Around Christmas. When MTV Europe had first started broadcasting - terrestrially - in Greece. One of the first music videos I watched when I tuned in was "The Promise" by When In Rome. Apparently somebody had covered my beloved "Pure". But who could it (they, actually) be? Who were also known abroad, enough known so that they were commissioned to r...

The PAP DX Blog. Thursday, 18 June 2015. Elections with Blues Pills The Big Nose Attack Soundtruck (Complete show on video! Now the decision to see Blues Pills was a strange one. I didn't know them but I was keen to discover a new band. I mean. a band playing blues. with members from. Sweden? However, what actually made my mind up to go and see them was the fact that they were supported by two of my favourite Greek bands, SoundtrucK. And The Big Nose Attack. Only a month before this one! And another thin...

The PAP DX Blog. Thursday, 28 May 2015. Christmas with Nouvelle Vague. Christmas eve. That time of the year most people want to spend at home with friends or at another friend's house. Or maybe out having an expensive(ish) dinner. We decided to spend our Christmas eve with Nouvelle Vague. In a way, this was also a night out with friends. But who are these friends? There was no support band, instead there was a DJ set by Greek radio DJ Liana Mastathi. Just Can't Get Enough", " Friday Night Saturday Morning.

The PAP DX Blog: I dream of Death Disco
http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-dream-of-death-disco.html
The PAP DX Blog. Monday, 3 August 2015. I dream of Death Disco. It was 13 months after their last appearance at Death Disco. In the end, I decided to go with a third option. to listen to the songs live first. What I was curious to hear though was the instrumental. "Nothing To Fear" is one of my two favourite synth-pop instrumentals (the other one is "Moon Over Moscow" by Visage). Would they play it? Yes, they did, during the encore. 04 The Sun And The Rainfall. 05 Can You Stop Me. 09 To The End. Bruce Sp...
