The Paper Scissors

In Loving Memory Superpack

$15

Hi All,

Someone told us the other day that FBi Radio played our song ‘We Don’t Walk’ as their ‘classic track’. The track was on our debut EP (see cover below) which came out in 2006. That’s last millennium people, a while back now. So we got to thinking, ‘wow we’ve been at it for a while now and maybe people might like to revisit some of our stuff, and maybe you’ve got some time over the festive season to listen to some tunes’… Well- we have a stupid awesome offer available for December- for $15 you get our Self Titled EP (2006) + Less Talk More Paper Scissors (2007) + Howl EP (2009) + T-T-Time Single (2009) and In Loving Memory (2011)  + Over There Remixes (2011).

Hey folks,

We are running a Christmas/Holiday Non Specific/Hanukkah/Silly-Season/Whatever-You’re-in-to SPECIAL!
Every copy of In Loving Memory comes signed by the band and you get a bonus single- hit up our SHOP PAGE NOW!

STUFF THAT JUST HAPPENED!

FAKER

We’ve just played a bunch of shows with Faker which were really fun, thanks to everyone that got there early to see us and Rockets.

Played in Sydney at The Standard which is an awesome new venue, which brings us to the point of excitement- The Standard, Fbi Social and now next year we are getting our own Hi-Fi Bar, so things are looking good for Sydney live music- hooray!

FBI OPEN DAY

We also played at Fbi’s open day in Gosford which was really good. The Paper Scissors’ own Jai Pyne was on a panel with Dan Zilber (Fbi radio Music Programmer)  and others talking about how to get started in the music industry. There is a quick little interview here with some points and tips from Jai who has managed The Paper Scissors as well as running Our First Label since 2006.

SPRING MIX

There is a mix up on TPS Soundcloud with some new music and old classics that we’ve been digging. Tracklist includes some new discoveries including Danish band When Saints Go Machine, Gardens & Villa out of the U.S and a sneak preview of a new TPS track, so check it out.

RECOMMENDATIONS / RANTS

If you’re into food check out Lucky Peach, a new quarterly magazine by McSweeny’s edited by David Chang, it’s pretty god damned nerdy but a very good read.

Music wise, we went to Harvest which was killer- TV On The Radio, Portishead, The Family Stone were all awesome.

Been listening to The War On Drugs- great Americana with atmosphere, Shabazz Palaces- weirdo hip hop that is blurry and funky at the same time.

We now bid you adieu and will mail you again soon, thanks for reading.

Don’t forget to check out our facebook / twitter / soundcloud / website and all that jazz

Hey dudes/ettes.

We are happy to announce that we’ll be joining Faker for a few shows in early November, we will be some of said ‘special guests’.
We’ll be playing Nov 5 Wollongong /10 Newcastle/11 Sydney with the lads. Check their site for tix and shtuff/ or our Gigs page.

We will also be popping up the Central Coast for Fbi Radio‘s Music Open Day on November 12th, it’s going abroad this time, to Gosford, at the Youth Arts Warehouse. The idea is for up and coming bands to bring their tunes/demos/fresh jams to the day so that the Fbi folks can shoot you into the musical stratosphere. There will also be industry 101′s, giving you the lowdown on what to expect from the industry and Jai will be joining the panel with Fbi Music Director Dan Zilber, APRA’s Sean Price and Gene Goodsell who is a music lawyer. We’ll then play live with local bands Sons of Alamo, Jacob Pearson and Sky Squadron.
