Springtime for Papermaps

While I’m waiting for my morning toast to slightly burn, I thought I’d write an update here to let you know what we are up to here at camp Papermaps. It’s springtime and for us that means buckling down and working on more new material from the next album… SO we will be taking a break from playing live in April with the exception of a solo show I will be performing at the El Mocambo Club on Thursday April 26th.  This will be just me and my guitar performing Papermaps songs from the past and future! Here’s a facebook event:

I hope to see you there! I’ll also be playing guitar with Tin Star Orphans and also appearing will be the excellent VISTAVISION !!!

Meanwhile, we’ll keep writing songs and attempting to record them.  Shows will be sparse between now and July — but we’ve got something REALLY BIG planned for JULY/AUGUST 2012… stay tuned for more hints and announcements!

Half a Dino & APK Live Presents: FRIDAY THE WHAT?!?!

HANDS & TEETH (Toronto)

Fresh off dates at SXSW and are still riding the waves of their awesome debut ‘Hunting Season’
KIDS & EXPLOSIONS (Toronto)
http://kidsandexplosions.com/
Josh Raskin does intense mash-ups coupled with out of this world visualizations behind him. He’s been here before, he wowed everyone and he’s coming back to get some bodies moving.
PAPERMAPS (Toronto)
http://papermaps.net/blog/
Papermaps are a pop-rock band on a mission. In 2011 they toured behind their debut ‘Papermaps’ and played CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, and two showcases at Halifax Pop Explosion where they shared the bill with other notable Canadian acts: Dinosaur Bones, The Reason, Plants and Animals, Carmen Townsend and Stars.
TBD (London)
Yes TBD is the band name, it is NOT an acronym. Everyone knows APK Live’s owner MARC GAMMAL, but did you know he’s in a band. Come and see our resident playboy, badass, and heartthrob Marc along with his band mates in TBD, play their first show at the bar. Get here early, you don’t want to miss this.
