Papadosio Credit: Press Handout
It’s becoming harder and harder to find new bands taking on progressive rock at all. Ohio-based quintet Papadosio on the other hand seems to have it down. With keyboard sounds that resemble that of Rick Wakeman, and twinkly, spaceified jams that sound like a Gov’t Mule and Pet Shop Boys hybrid, the group’s latest single “Dare You” is a slightly offbeat, futuristic epic with heavy synth work to boot.

Tickets to see Papadosio play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, Jan. 20 are still available for $23.50.
