The Paperboys: News

Hey all,

Just wanted to let ya'll know I have posted all our spring and summer
tour dates on the website. Just click on the calendar section. We are going to be on tour all over the
globe from Seattle to Ireland to Germany to England and back to
Seattle. I hope we will see you at one of our upcoming shows.

Hi all,

We are pleased to welcome Tomtom Music into The Paperboys family.

Tomtom Music will be handling all bookings for the band in the UK from now on. We will be joining their roster alongside Tim O'Brien, Steve Forbert, Colin Hay and many others.

We will be returning to Britain and Scotland spring of 2008.

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,
t~ and the P'Boyz

Hey all,

Just a quick note to let you know we have corrected the dates on the calendar section. A few dates had been changed, cancelled or rearranged but they are now all straightened out. Wherever possible we put in a link to the venue and as much info as we have on the gig.

We are just about to jet off to Ireland, England and Scotland for about 10 days and hit California on our way back to Vancouver. We are psyched!

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

Please note that the date for Dublin has been changed from Sunday November 4th to Saturday November 3rd. Time and venues will stay the same.

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

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

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

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you all know that you can now view our video for Fragile on YouTube. Just click the link below...

Hola amigos,

Nadamas les queria avisar que ahora pueden ver el video de 'Fragile' en YouTube. Siguan este link:

Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3e2gOCTBa0

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

Hey all,

There are a bunch of new dates on our calendar. It's looking like 2007 is going to be crazy busy for us. Hopefully we will be near you soon.

In other news, we just did a day of filming for our video for 'Fragile". I leave this weekend to do some more filming in Mexico. Yay!!
We should have a finished product in a couple of weeks. We'll keep you posted.

cheers,
Tom

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

Paperboys VS Nickelback


Hey everybody,

We have some great news. Our video for 'Fall Down With You' has been added to the playlist on MuchMoreMusic (Canada's Answer to VH1, only cooler) Presently we are on medium rotation but with your help we can get the video played a lot more.

So here is your chance to help us, and at the same time knock down Nickelback and Christina Aguilera from their top ten countdown. Come on, we know you've had it with Chad Kroegers voice and Maddona's skanky videos and would much rather see us on the top 10.

They first moved our date from November 10th to November 18th. Now they cancel the show.
Arrggghh!!!

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Hello ya'll,

Thanks to all of you who have come out to recent shows. We have been having a blast.

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.

Hey ya'll,

Just a quick one to tell you a bunch of new shows have been added to the calendar including all our Europe dates for 2007.

There will be more added so check back.

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
