Hey,
As always, it’s been a while. We are playing an early show TONIGHT (Monday July 11) at my-new-favourite-videodrome-themed-bar Dundas Video. We are doing this to support the very-excellent psych-rock-garage outfit from Cincinnati OH: Orchards. Joining us is Toronto’s own Yeomans. Why I did not rave about this earlier is beyond me – I guess I’ve been busy here on the home front. If you are lucky enough to be reading this in a timely manner you should really, really go.

I’ve given you the relevant links….now go!

It’s been a while…we are playing a show, Thursday February 11 at Dundas Video to celebrate a couple of milestones.
First milestone is the “quiet/soft release” of a new PAPERMAPS song – the first in nearly 3 years. “Be Real,” dropped on a recent Chart Attack blog post along with several other Toronto luminaries and new-comers. I want to thank the seminal Canadian music blog (one-time print mag) for tagging our name in the post – it’s nice to have not completely disappeared – although I don’t blame anyone for having forgotten us; three years is a whole generation in local-indie terms. Thanks to our friends (and studio-mates) PEERS for including us on their excellent mixtape series: Phi Rho Sigma presents Pledge 1, which launches February 4 at the venerable Horseshoe Tavern. I can’t wait to get a copy.
The second milestone to celebrate is that we have written all the new material for our upcoming full-length album, tentatively titled, Confessions. Subsequently, our set on Feb 11 at Dundas Video will be completely comprised of this new material – it’s like a sneak preview (or leak) of the new album, but live! We’ll be on at 10PM, just before Lampshades, a new Toronto band you should really check out.

Read all about it…
Four months is a really long time to go without playing a live show. It’s the sort of length of time that tends to raise existential issues in a band…but we’ve never actually stopped working. Here’s a visual representation of a new song we’ll be debuting at our upcoming show (#85) at the Gladstone Hotel, Saturday March 28 (set time 10:35/ $8 Cover with The Persian Rugs and Mune). I hope to see some of you there!
Hello. It’s been a while. We’ve been total shut-ins, yes. So what’s happening then? Well, we’re still working on new material and some of it is ready to test. As an experiment, we’ll be playing the Gladstone Hotel here in Toronto on March 28 with the excellent Mune and Persian Rugs. Doors at 9pm and $8 to get in.

Hello, Dean here.
It’s been a while since I’ve played a live show. Not since November of 2013(!), so I’m glad to announce three live Toronto appearances in the coming weeks. Two solo shows by yours truly: Saturday, April 19, 6PM at the excellent Cabin Fever Collective cafe and record store (1669 Bloor St. West) and Saturday April 26, 9PM at the venerable Rancho Relaxo (300 College St.). PAPERMAPS (full band) will be playing this years’ Canadian Music Week at the Velvet Underground (508 Queen St. West) on Wdnesday, May 7, 9PM (sharp!). Also on the CMW showcase bill are The Lost Chord and Waterbodies.
Cheers,
-dean
