Hometown Sounds

Paperhaus‘s Alex Tebeleff is a superconnector in our city’s music scene. While not fronting his psychedelic four piece rock band or crafting experimental synth sounds under his solo moniker Black Lodge, Tebeleff is a prolific curator of shows through his DCDIT label at The Dew Drop Inn, Smith Public Trust and of course his own house. Many fondly remember spots like The Dunes, The Lot at Atlantic Plumbing, and the first Paperhaus because of the parties Tebeleff threw and all the familiar faces you’d see there. Now Tebeleff’s new crib has retaken the Paperhaus name for more house shows starting in August, and the band is back too with a new album Are These The Questions That We Need To Ask? dropping October 6th on Misra Records. The lead-off single’s music video, full of cameos by DC musicians and proponents, even gets its name from Homero Salazar Andrujovich’s shoegaze project Go Cozy. Superconnected.
