Pop Montreal Q & A: PAPA

by Anne T. Donahue

Since we’ll be kicking around Pop Montreal this week, we’re talking to some of our favourite bands playing the festival.

Gearing up to release their debut EP A Good Woman Is Hard To Find, Los Angeles’ PAPA just kicked off their North American tour alongside Girls – mostly because PAPA frontman Darren Weiss is their drummer. However, this exuberant three-piece would likely have already caught the attention of their peers and listeners, especially since they’ve successfully taken the sun-drenched California sound and added substance and heart.

You can catch PAPA open for Girls on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Théâtre Corona.

AUX: What about Pop Montreal (or Montreal in general) are you most excited about?

PAPA: We’re excited to have an excuse to go looking for antiques and eat delicious bagels.

What bands are you determined to see during the festival?
