Here Lies Pa

About Me


PRAISE for HERE LIES PA:
"With several months of continuous gigging under their belts, Here Lies Pa has perfected their sound while maintaining a rousing organic quality..."
-Urban Folk Magazine - Summer '07
“…Here Lies Pa, whose residency at Matchless is shaping them into a tight outfit, making them rapidly into a secret sensation you should see before they blow up. Seems there is new wave of unpretentious intelligent pop growing out here.”
- The Roman Games Diary – March ‘07
“Capturing day-to-day snapshots of life, their lyrics bring you to another place, where emotions - whether they make you want to skip or curl up in a dark corner - are worn like a comfy, broken-in tee. You know the one; whether it has holes, bleach stains or reminds you of your ex-girlfriend who wore it to bed every night, you still wouldn't get rid of it for anything or anyone.” “…They are not to be missed.”
- My Musical Crush – January ‘07
“Lead singer/songwriter Paul Basile and the band have a charming rawness about them…”
- Pop Headwound – February ‘07
“I have to say I was extremely impressed. The lead singer had a great voice, the songs were well written and the band is remarkably tight…”
- www.evankessler.com - January ‘07
