10:00am Price: Free Ranked #3 in Denver Post's Best Underground Bands of 2008 "For their sound is the song of a million middle century charms playing as one grand symhony. Their sound is black and white twentieth century America at its best. It is the world smiling. It is the world singing." -Jonathon Bitz, Syntax Magazine "They're hands-down the best live act -- from Denver or from anywhere -- that I've seen in some time." -John Zwick, Yourhub.com. New Belgium Brewery's Tour de Fat 2008: Bringing a juxtaposition between marching band style and Indie-folk, Paper Bird joins forces with Mucca Pazza for New Belgium Brewery's Summer 2008 Tour de Fat. In lieu of spreading the word about the positive societal offerings of the bicycle, Paper Bird will grace the stage at Tempe Town Lake Park on October 11th. The traveling bike festival will bring awareness of how simple it is to better the environment by trading in your car for a bike. Standing firm in no existing genre, Paper Bird's backbone is their songwriting, musicianship, and a general allergy to all limitations and trends. With seven members, and no leader, this band is pulled in every direction imaginable, but thanks to their unique instrumentation this Colorado based group is able to merge their spontaneous creativity into one, solid sound. The members of the band, Sarah Anderson, vocals and trumpet; sisters Esmé and Genny Patterson, vocals; Tyler Archuletta, trombone; Paul DeHaven, guitar; Caleb Summeril, banjo and harmonica; conveniently met in the mountain town of Breckenridge, CO. There, the egg hatched and the birds took flight. Their Jazzy, Folk, Americana sound pays homage to the "Roaring 20's." Still, they are able to achieve the Indie rock image and resonance of the current age. The female vocals create a soulful, dynamic harmony that accentuates each voice, yet, combines them into one. The trombone, banjo, and guitar elevate the music to a higher level; each style bounces off the other, while each note appreciates the other. Recently adding an up-right bass, Macon Terry, the richness of Paper Bird's music has developed immensely. The skilled notes of the bass reflect the harmonies of the existing vocals and instrumentation. They make audiences feel love, excitement, and passion. They are a happy-go-lucky, neo-folk act. A show not to be missed, a band that must be heard: Paper Bird is one of a kind. http://www.paperbirdband.com 620 N. Mill Ave Tempe, AZ |
