PAPA at the Bootleg Theater

PAPA is the January residency band at the Bootleg Theater.  I do believe this is the first time I've seen the velvet rope up at the Bootleg Theater since Honey Honey's residency.

And I totally got it.  From the very start their energy just set their fans afire.

Noticed:  their set list was written on a paper napkin.

Noticed:  they sang  a cover song from The Cure.  Props.

Noticed:  they had lamps up on stage.  The lamp fell over twice (maybe three times).

The lamps led to the comment of the night (directed at the sound guy):  You're still chill even though this lamp idea is f*#!-ed up.

Noticed:  A young woman screaming throughout their set.  She was up front and center.  I'm sure she was into the music, but also off to the side there were a handful of folks who couldn't help but show their amusement.

The crowd demanded an encore and the band delivered.
