Vancouver show this weekend!- Callithump in Stores November 9- PNW dates

Fall greetings from Vancouver. The weather has turned here in the Pacific Northwest. The leafs are changing colour and folks have dug out their sweaters from the top shelf of their closets. What does all this mean for The Paperboys? Nothing really, I am just feeling autumnal and wanted to let you guys know about the weather. :)



Ok, I do have some relevant news for ya'll. First up, I wanted to let you know about our Thanksgiving shows this weekend. Yup, for our south of the border friends, us Canadians are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend and to honour the holiday, we are playing two shows this Saturday and Sunday- October 9 and 10. The shows are at The St. James Hall in Kitsilano and are presented by The Rogue Folk Club. For details on the show please go to the calendar/gig section of our calendar.



The big news around here is that as of November 9th, Callithump will be available in stores across Canada. We will be opening up the bubbly and celebrating the official release of the CD. In addition to it being available in stores, it is also available as a download from I-Tunes.



For our US friends, we have a ton of Pacific Northwest shows coming up, including the Tree Lighting Ceremony in downtown Seattle on November 26, as well as two Thanksgiving shows at The Triple Door that weekend. We will also be in Bellingham, Leavenworth, Omak and all points in between.


Last on our list here, we would like to say thanks to all our German and Swiss fans/friends that came out to the shows on our recent tour. We just got back a couple of days ago and we can't wait to go back. Danke!



Hope you are all keeping well and healthy. If you haven't done so yet, become our friend on Facebook. We constantly update the page, add photos and interact with folks from around the globe. The URL is http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Paperboys/6242898019?ref=ts

Yup, you can now download our latest, straight from the I-Tunes store and into your computer. All of our other CD's are available there too. Actual physical CD's are of course also available from CD Baby via our website, and at all of our shows.

We had a ton of fun and played a ton of really cool shows. We are back to Europe at the end of this month. We will be doing more gigs in Germany as well as Ireland and Northern Ireland, including Belfast's Canada Day Celebrations on July first.

We will also be busy all over the Pacific Northwest this summer playing tons of gigs including The Mission Folk Festival, The Ollala Bluegrass Festival, The Triple Door in Seattle and The Dug Fir Lounge in Portland. Our full schedule is on the calendar section of our page.

Callithump Out Now!!!

Extra, extra, read all about it! Callithump, the new CD by The Paperboys is finally out!

It's been 3 years sine the release of The Road to Ellenisde and in that time the band has been busy touring, writing and recording. For the last few months you've been hearing all about the new CD, and now I am delighted to say that 'CALLITHUMP' has finally been released and is available for sale. You can pick up a copy at any of our shows, or you can order by mail from our store at cdbaby. Just follow this link here and a CD will be mailed to you and at your doorstep in only a few days. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ThePaperboys



To give you a feel for what the CD is all about, here is the dictionary meaning of the word.

Cal"li*thump`, n. A somewhat riotous parade, accompanied with the blowing of tin horns, and other discordant noises; also, a burlesque serenade; a charivari.

The CD was produced by Tom Landa and Joby Baker and includes the use of trumpets, whistles, banjos, fiddles, jaranas, drums, choirs, piano, cajon, bass, trombone, saxophone, congas, guiro, mandolins and guitars. It is a great representation of what the band sounds like 'live' these days.


You will be able to digitally download the CD from I-Tunes in a couple of weeks. We will email you as soon as it's available for download. In the meantime if you prefer to download, all of our other CD's are available from I-Tunes.

New CD!! Big Tour

Hola Amigos,

It has been far too long since we have posted an update or sent a newsletter and I do apologize for that. So without further ado, here is the latest and greatest.

OK, so the most exciting news is that we will have a brand new CD very soon! The record will be called 'Callithump' and we will be releasing it late this spring or early this summer. We are putting the finishing touches on it now, and are super excited about the way it is coming together. It is an ambitious project which fuses our love of Irish, Mexican, Bluegrass, Ska, Latin, Soul and African music.

Producer Joby Baker has been instrumental in shaping the sound of the record which includes the use of jaranas, guitars, banjos, whistles, flutes, pump organs, a four piece horn section, piano, fiddle, mandolin, drums, bass, cajon, tin cans, a garbage bin, congas, pandeiro, guiro, tres and of course lots of singing. We will let you know the second it is available.

We will be touring in support of this CD all summer and fall. Our tours will take us all over North America and Europe. Please check out our tour dates.

We will also be doing a spring tour of Ireland, Northern Ireland and England from May 2 to May 17th. I really hope you make it to one of these shows. Below is the schedule of that tour.

We will be taking on more North American dates once the CD is released and for all of you 'out east; we promise to make it out there as soon as possible. In the meantime you can check out the ton of videos on Youtube including our video of 'Fall Down With You' which had over 51,500 views last time I checked. Crazy!

I hope you are all keeping well, healthy and happy as a horses eating thistles.

Peace to you all,

CF Benefit a Big Success

Tom and Kendel raised $8,500 on behalf of the band and Mike and Cindy Hendricks this past Saturday in Seattle.

The Paperboys were auctioned off for a private party of 40 people. The party will take place this summer in Leavenworth at The River Haus on The Pines. http://www.riverhausinthepines.com/

Tom and Kenny performed one song during the Gala and a bidding frenzy followed their performance. Over the course of the black tie affair, there was $1,750,000 raised. Woohoo!

We urge you to donate to this cause if at all possible, as they receive little to no government funding. You can check out more at http://www.riverhausinthepines.com/

can see The Paperboys in the next few weeks.

For deatails on these and all upcoming shows please check out
http://www.paperboys.com


So I guess the most exciting news is that we are back in the studio,
working on our 7th CD with producer Joby Baker. We recorded some
tracks during the summer and this month and next we will be recording
some more material. At the moment we hope to be done recording in
December with a tentative release date of March or April. We'll keep
you posted.

Speaking of records, a German record company called Stockfish Records
is releasing a 'best of' Paperboys album on both CD and vinyl this
month. In addition to the best of material, it will also contain 3 new
tracks. Stockfish Records specializes in acoustic music and deals
mostly with hi-fi shops in Europe and Asia. We will have copies for
sale at our shows, but it will also be available via the internet
through their site and ours.

AND, as if this wasn't enough, we are also putting together a live
and rarities CD which we hope to have ready in time for Christmas. The
live tracks were mostly recorded at The Tractor Tavern in Seattle last
December. The rest of the tracks were recorded in Ireland, Germany and
Vancouver.

It was a crazy busy year for us with 5 tours to Europe wich included
stops in Germany, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, Northern Ireland, The UK,
Poland and Holland. We also played a ton of shows in the US, mostly
concentrating in the Pacific Northwest. Well, 2009 promises more of
the same. At the moment we are confirmed for a return tour of Germany
and Switzerland in fall of 2009 and a tour is currently being planned
for spring of 09 to Holland, Ireland and the UK.

As always we thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Ya'll are the
best.

Please feel free to stop by our guestbook and drop us a line.

Hope you are all well and healthy. See you at a show soon.

Cheers,
Tom and The P'boys

Feliz dia de los muertos everyone! Just got back from a very successful tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland and wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to support the shows.

We are so sorry we had to cancel the show in Leicester and we promise to make it up to you when we come back in the spring.

We also wanted to extend a very hearty Canadian thanks to Aidan, Andy, Debbie, Dougie, Julia, Jenny and all the other folks who worked hard to promote the band and help spread The Paperboys gospel. Thanks!

We now head out to California this weekend and looking forward to seeing our friends there.

Slainte,

Happy Fall to you all. Bundle up, it's getting cold out there.

Newsletter-Dates, Fall Schedule

At long last a much overdue newsletter/bulletin. I try to write these
as often as possible, but then life sometimes unfolds all around you
and you find yourself living it to the fullest and wishing you had
more hours in a day to get everything done.

It has been a great summer and I have enjoyed every minute of
sunshine, every note, every drink and every laugh. We have been down
many roads as of late and it never ceases to amaze me the kindness and
warmth of people when we reached our destination. We are a lucky band
with the world's greatest supporters and friends.

TOUR DATES: OK, so there are a bunch of things I want to let you know
about so I will start with tour dates. As always, dates are constantly
added to our never ending schedule, so don't wait to receive these
newsletters. Check back frequently for added dates.

I just finished adding the latest dates to our calendar and I am so
psyched for what we have coming up. Upcoming highlights for me include
a return visit to Portland (Yay! Finally!) a return to The Tractor in
Seattle, a fall tour of Germany, a return to Northern Ireland and
first time visits to Pithlockery Scotland and The Republic of Ireland.
We also have one date in England and will soon be adding more.

FRIENDS: Speaking of England we are stoked about our friends Miles
Hunt and Erica Nockalls coming to America to open up for us at a bunch
of shows in September. You may know Miles from his work with The
Wonder Stuff. They will be supporting us on all dates from September
7th to September 16th. Check them out on MySpace at
http://www.myspace.com/theactualmileshunt

WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO BOSTON: Many of you have been asking about
dates in Eastern US and Canada as well as more dates outside the
Pacific Northwest. Truth is we would love to return to tour all
throughout the US and the rest of Canada. Unfortunately, financially
it doesn't make much sense for us at the moment. We are not giving up
yet though and are always keeping our eyes and ears open for anchor
dates we could build a tour around.

WHEN DOES THE NEW CD COME OUT: On the recording front, we are hoping
to record this fall for a release next spring. At the moment we have
been writing new material and if you have been to any shows lately you
have heard a few of the new tunes.

MUSICAL CHAIRS: If you have been to a show in the last couple of
months you might have noticed the absence of both Geoffrey and Kendel.
Geoff has been busy touring with his band Spirit of the West and
Kendel has spent the summer playing with Outlaw Social as well as
working hard on her solo career. She has been touring in support of
her CD all over the US and Europe. We miss both of them of course, and
wish they could be at all the shows, however we realize that they have
other ambitions they need to pursue.

Having said that I strongly believe all the shows have rocked with
their replacements as well as the addition of the horn section. Both Kenny and Geoff will be with us this weekend when we play at the Blues and Roots Festival in Salmon Arm.

MAIL AND COMMENTS: We love to get mail (who doesn't really?) and we encourage to leave us a message on our message board or if you are not the PDA type then email us at thepaperboys@gmail.com

Hope you are all well and enjoying your summer. As I said earlier, we appreciate your support and never take ya'll for granted. Hope to see you at a show soon.

Peace,
Tom

August Update

Well, it has been a while since I have written an update and for that I am sorry. Things have been a wee bit hectic since we returned from Europe this June.

We have been up to our old tricks out here on the West Coast-lots of gigs, writing new songs, recording a live show in Vancouver for CBC radio and generally keeping busy with all things music.

I promise to write a proper update soon, but in the meantime I just wanted to let you know I posted some new dates on our calendar section and will be adding more in the days to come.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer so far and that you get a chance to see the band live soon.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks! and Greetings from England.

Hey all,

Just wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who came out to the shows in Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. We had a fantastic time on our tour despite the few illness' that plagued the band. We never want to see another hospital ever again but we are all doing well now and in good spirits.

We also wanted to say thanks to all of you who left us a comment, emailed us or expressed your compliment and enthusiasm in person. Your support never goes unnoticed and is always appreciated.

We have left continental Europe and are now in the UK ready to embark on our tour of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. (Dates are posted on our calendar)

We will be back in North America in June where we will have a month off before we resume our touring schedule in Seattle at the beginning of July.

Hope to see you at an upcoming show soon. If you have friends in any of the cities we will be playing make sure you tell them to come out and show some love.

So thanks again for your support. We'll see you down the road.

Cheers,
Tom and the P'boys

Paul "Lolly" Lawton CD now out

We are so happy to inform you that the tribute CD to our dear friend Paul 'Lolly' Lawton is now out and available from our friends at cdbaby. http://cdbaby.com/cd/paullollylawton

As many of you know, Lolly was our drummer for over 6 years and we sadly lost him to a tragic accident in the summer of 2005.

In addition to being a wonderful human being and a fantastic drummer, Lolly was a phenomenal songwriter. Lucky for us he left recordings of his songs on several mini discs. They were lovely versions recorded by him with just a voice and guitar.

Over the months of November and December we re-recorded all of these songs as well as adding some tracks to the existing voice and guitar.

The cast of musicians who recorded his music were all people that Lolly played music with over the years and include The Paperboys, Rob Bracken, Andy Collins, Tim Readman, Big Head Project and Cody Westman.

It is a wonderful CD, we hope you pick one up.

More details on him, his charities, the CD and his life can be found on his website at www.paullawton.ca

Happy New Year!

Hola Amigos.

Happy New Year ya?ll! Hope Double 07 is treating you well so far.
We had a great ol? time ringing in the New Year at Jazzbones in Tacoma.
We missed our dear flautist extraordinaire Geoffrey but the 4 of us made up for his absence with a lot of energy and full throated passion.

We had a stellar year and we are grateful to you, our friends, for supporting us and what we do.

Our biggest delight has come from our video being in the Top Ten countdown on MuchMoreMusic for over a month. It reached #4 a couple of weeks ago and it is still charting. You can keep us there by voting for us on their web site. http://www.muchmoremusic.com/top10/

2007 will see us globetrotting throughout America, Europe and hopefully Asia. We are planning on making another CD in the late spring with a hopeful release in the fall. The summer will be spent playing every festival that will have us.

We are taking the month of January off except for filming a video for Fragile which we will do in the next week or so. We will resume our playing schedule in mid February.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for all the encores, hooting and hollering, paying the cover charge, traveling a fair way to see us, smiling, singing along, buying our CDs, buying us a round, feeding us, giving us a place to sleep and for generally being the best fans a band could ask for.

We?ll see you out there soon.

cheers,
Tom and the P?boys

There is a date change on our calendar. The show at PW Murphy's on Whidby Island has been moved from November 11 to November 18th.

Also wanted to let you know we are now fully stocked at cdbaby. We had been sold out of our latest CD 'The Road to Ellenside' but they now have plenty in stock. They will be receiving a shipment of Tenure and Dilapidated Beauty CD's soon.

We have a few days off now but we we are looking forward to seeing you later in November.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Hey all,

Yes it's true, the leaves are falling and changing colour (we spell it with a 'u' up here) and all the local shops are decorating with pumpkins, ghosts and other fall decor. Here in Canada we are gearing up for Thanksgiving which falls on Monday October 9th. Why do we celebrate it a month before our neighbours to the south? I have no clue.

Before we stuff ourselves with turKey and all the fixings we will be doing a show at Tsillan Cellars in beautiful Lake Chelan on Saturday October 7th.

The rest of the month will see us in Yakima, Tacoma and Seattle. Check the tour schedule for more details.

I have been working on new songs for our next CD which we hope to record next spring. We more than likely will be playing those songs at the upcoming shows.

Hope you have a good Thanksgiving weekend.

cheers,
Tom

Fall Down With You Video

We are so excited about our latest video for the song 'Fall Down With You'

The video can be viewed on Youtube by clicking this link:

It can also be viewed on our MySpace profile under the video section. Just follow this link:

Please ignore the first 15 seconds of annoying bar code at the beginning of the video. It will go away once the actual video starts.

We will re-post a new copy of the video without the bar code soon.
We will also post the video right here on this website as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

cheers,
Tom

Update

Wanted to update you on a few happenings.

First up, there has been a change to our tour schedule. The September 23 date which was originally booked for The Swiss in Tacoma has been cancelled. Our agent is looking for a replacement date in early November.

With that date now open we have booked the band at Lefty's in Salem Oregon on September 23. This will be our third time at Lefty's and we are looking forward to the show.

All other tour dates are posted on the calendar section of this site. We will be adding some Canadian dates in November and December. Check back again later for more details.

For our European friends, we have plans to return for a 6 week tour in April and May of 2007.

Many of you have been asking about the availability of our older releases. At the moment we are sold out but will be ordering Postcards (for the first time in 4 years) as well as Dilapidated Beauty and Molinos.

Currently we have Tenure and our latest Road to Ellenside available.

All CD's will be available at our shows and online through this website/cdbaby. Just follow the links.

Thanks for checking in with us. Have a good Labour Day weekend.

cheers,
t~and the p'boys
