As we bound through the holiday season towards another New Year, music fans are getting ready for their favorite bands to put on what is always the biggest party night of the 365-day cycle. Papadosio’s incredible 2017 will culminate with a two-night run of performances at Nashville, TN’s Exit/In on Saturday, December 30th (w/ support from Doyle) and Marathon Music Works on New Year’s Eve proper with Zoogma and Push/Pull (Check out full NYE run info here). Dosio’s Anthony Thogmartin will host a free pre-party under his Earthcry moniker at The Back Corner to get the celebration started on Friday, December 29th, along with Liferoot.

Papadosio To Ring In 2018 Proper With Zoogma, Push/Pull, & More

The Asheville, NC-based group had their biggest year yet with headlining performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre for their own Re:Creation event (check out a full review here), Rave From The Grave in which they paid tribute to electronic music pioneers of the 90’s, a Fall tour with Phutureprimitive, and most recently their annual Earth Night event (take a looks at photos from the event).

Add in massive festival sets at both Resonance Reconstructed and Resonance Music & Arts Festival in the spring and fall, respectively, Wanee Music Festival, SONIC BLOOM, both weekends of Electric Forest, The Peach Music Festival, Oregon Eclipse, and a list that goes on and on, and it becomes increasingly clear to anybody following Papadosio that the band is on a mission.

With 2017 almost behind them, and looking ahead to their upcoming New Year’s Eve run, both Thogmartin and Billy Brouse commented on the run, how fortunate the band is to be performing in front of such a hardcore base of fans, and the prospect of starting a new chapter with the recording of fresh music in 2018 with a pending release.

After releasing the all-instrumental Pattern Integrities EP in 2016, Thogmartin is looking forward to dropping new music in the coming year, “2018 will be a big year for us. We have a bunch of new music we are going to be recording. We have so much new music that we are slimming down the songs to be able to fit them into a release. Coming off of an instrumental EP, we couldn’t be more excited to open this new chapter.”

Brouse discusses the unbelievable fans the group has made over the years, and how special a night like New Year’s Eve is to the band,  “To be able to play our music for our most ardent supporters is always amazing, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate the people who make our dreams a reality. To play for them on NYE is always a treat because I feel like people let it all hang out that night. There’s something in the air and it’s alive all weekend, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a large portion of our fanbase it pretty tight knit. Get all these awesome people in one room together and it becomes really special, and the energy that they give to us and to the rest of the crowd is palpable. Also, playing in Nashville is always a great time, so we’re excited about that.”
