PEI indie pop rockers,
Paper Lions have been quite quiet due to the recording of a upcoming album
with producer, Howard Redekop, which is set to be released in fall 2012.
However, their post productions have been on fire. One of their
earlier efforts, 'Travelling' hit 1 million viewers on Youtube the other day,
which is well deserved for a talented band like them. As Butch Walker
says, that there's difference between a hit song and
a good song. This song is definitely the later as it grows in
the listeners after several times of listening, leaving a
scar in your brain, engraving a memory of a time. Whenever I listen to this
song, I remember the moment when the singer, John MacFee engaging with the
audience during the chorus to sing along with his
single acoustic guitar. It's one of my favorite moments of
a live show.
Since they finished
recording at the studio, they are back on the road just in time for
this year's NXNE. They will be playing two shows in Toronto: June 15th at El
Mocambo and June 29th at Yonge and Dundas Square. The Y&D show is free.
What else we can ask for? A good free show with a beautiful weather in the
downtown core?
