June 17 – Junction City Music Hall – New Sounds

It’s been a while since we have played live and I’m excited to announce a hometown date: Friday, June 17 at Junction City Music Hall.  Here’s a link to the venue website:

Here’s the Facebook Event (join!): https://www.facebook.com/events/1002416143208741/

Also on the bill are the amazing Beams and The Nursery – two great Toronto fixtures worthy of your discriminating attention!

Maybe you haven’t seen us since we’ve gone all weird and metal or broody or since I became a dad or stopped cutting my hair…Well, we’re not anymore “metal” or “weird” than we ever were – if you think that then maybe you never really got us anyway (well, maybe we’re a bit more broody, if anything) . Then again, who wants to recreate the same sound over and over again? People change. They grow. Don’t expect the same album from papermaps over and over again. Don’t expect the same papermaps either.  BTW, if you love the old stuff, remember: music lives forever. It has it’s own place in the universe and most of it dwells right here, on the internet (and hopefully in some dusty playlists on some device of future’s past).

Anyway, come judge for yourself…come to the show…

Meanwhile, we’ve been working on this new album and leading up to finishing that I’ve been posting little sample “vignettes” of new music. Here they all are, all collected in one place.

Humbly yours,
-dean
