Tuesday Happenings #3

Wow,

It’s getting closer to our release date!  Here’s what’s happening with PAPERMAPS this week:

Item 1: Shows Shows Shows!
Here are the posters/ FB Events for our Waterloo and St. Catharines appearances.

A new show has been added to our spring tour: Saturday April 30, APK Live, London.

Item 2: The  latest papermaps review was written by  excellent writer Barbara Bruederlin.  The review appeared both on her awesome blog, Bad Tempered Zombie as well as the very esteemed  No Depression website.  Although No Depression focuses on Traditional, Country, Roots and Blues-based music (which we have some elements of, but would not neatly fit into) the good people there, nevertheless, featured the review on their landing page for at least 24 hours (which was very, very cool of them).  This may be a historical first for usage of the  term shoegaze on No Depression. Read Barbara’s fine review here:

Item 3: The latest radio station to spin papermaps is  CFOU 89.1 MHz – Trois-Rivieres. Merci beaucoup!

Item 4: Last (but not least) the first official single from papermaps, our song entitled, reunion is available on itunes TODAY!  Here’s the proof: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/reunion-single/id427843024

Reunion on iTunes

Hi,
The single from papermaps will be digitally released and available on itunes this coming Tuesday, March 29. Of course, you can come to one of our shows and purchase a deluxe vinyl record from us personally (includes a download from the excellent papermaps.bandcamp.com) — seeing that we’ve provided so many options, there’s really no excuse for not having it in your favourite MP3 player/shuffler.

Ok, ok, I know it’s technically Wednesday right now, but I just got back from a long drive from Ottawa to Toronto, so — better late than never.

There is no poster for this show (as of yet).  I’ll update this post with one when it happens.

Item 2: The latest music blog to write about Papermaps is  (proudly Canadian) AWMusic.ca.  This is an awesome  review of  our non-CMW CMW-season show at the Tranzac this year.  Read all about it here:

Item 3: The latest new radio station to spin Papermaps is CFRU 93.3 FM (University of Guelph) on their Sunday Evening show The Sandbox (http://sandboxradio.com/?m=201103).  Thank you!  See you, April 23 at Jimmy Jazz!
Also a big thanks to  CKUW 95.9 FM (University of Winnipeg)  and their morning show Monday Monday, for their continued support: http://mondaymondayshow.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/playlist-for-march-21st/

Item 4: Our album Papermaps makes it’s first known radio chart appearance!  A big shout out to our friends in Hamilton, CFMU 93.3 FM (McMaster Univeristy) for placing us on their chart this week at position #9 (nicely wedged between J. Mascis and REM)!!!  Did I mention we really want to play Hamilton?

It’s been a good week!

Tuesday Happenings #1

OK,

We have a bunch of Tuesdays left before our album drops on Tuesday April 19, so I thought I would report weekly buzz-worth activity up to that special date and give the reports a nifty name like, Tuesday Happenings.  So here is my first instalment . . . I guess there will be 6 of these (brought to you by the good ol’ Google Past Week  search tool).

Item 1:  There’s a nifty Facebook event for our next live appearance, which will be in Ottawa on April 15.
Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=200837489944423
We are second of 3 bands.  7″ vinyls and advance copies of the album will be for sale!

Here’s the nifty poster (brought to you by the fine folks at TwoWayMonologues).

Item 2: The latest Radio station to spin Papermaps is CKUW 95.9 FM (University of Winnipeg) on their morning show Monday Monday (http://mondaymondayshow.wordpress.com).  Thank you, David Trouble and friends!

Item 3: Latest MP3 Blog to post some Papermaps music is Insomnia Radio (http://insomniaradio.net/2011/02/27/papermaps-cant-make-a-living/)

Item 4: The latest music blog to write about Papermaps is Canada’s own Panic Manual (http://www.panicmanual.com/2011/03/07/shows-week-march-7-march-13/) talking up our non-CMF CMF show this past Saturday at the Tranzac.  Thanks to all who attended this show — we had a blast!

Item 5: Papermaps have entered the information age by posting a profile (and some stream-able music) to the ever growing Soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/papermaps) .  Another social network!

Well that about does it for Tuesday Happenings Week 1.

cheers,
