"Boasting an intimidatingly tight live show and the kind of skill that belies their age and experience, Papa vs Pretty's rollicking and accessible sound should be reaching way beyond the school yard as soon as they've passed the test"- Glen Goetze, Groupie Mag
'The clashing styles that grind against each other only make them more interesting' - Who The Hell.
'Seriously smart music' - One a Day blog
Papa VS Pretty have been a band for a while now, the current line up of Tom Rawle, Tom Myers and Gus Gardiner has been together almost a year now and since joining forces have been lucky enough to play the 2009 Laneway festival, the 2008 Peats Ridge and Parklife festivals. They've also shared the stage with acts such as Dappled Cities, Malcom Middleton, Seabellies, 78saab, Bag Raiders, The Temper Trap, The Devoted Few, Pomo Mofo, Bridezilla and many more. They released an EP last year and this year have just brought out a NEW EP! It was recorded it at BJB with producer Burke Reid. You can now purchase the EP2 off the website (See the button below).

Woahh Tom, You're a cool cat! Yesssss, It is. Isn't it intense?! (:
Well, I love Max Wilkinson. So, when I was listening I looked at his profile, and saw that you guys performed with him. (I chose to click on you guys sinse your name was amazing!) Haah, and that's the story of how I fell in love with your insanely good musica. The End.
Yeah Grizzly bear are brilliant, Horn of Plenty was a great album too... they better play a sideshow in Sydney when they come over here for Falls!
Heard you dudes on the J's or FBI, can't remember which. Rad tunes...love those harmonies you use in Piper...hopefully I'll come see you guys live soon!
Tom I saw you hanging out at that big shopping centre at Homebush that has the IKEA in it like 5 weeks ago. I was carrying several hefty IKEA goods (purchased at low low prices) so I couldn't say G'day. Also I'm not even sure if it was you. Anyway. Be good lads. Dan
I saw you guys at Xrayspex in... I think it was August or something last year? And you're playing again. Since I liked you, I'm going again, and thought it would be appropriate to add you on MySpace haha.
