SUOSITUIMMAT TARINAT
Although the band is a relatively new project, the members of the group have been long time friends. Bassist Adam Bernstein was in a band known as HongKongathon from 2001-2003. He is also a founding member of this Brooklyn based ensemble.
While Adam was working on this and various other projects, guitarist Matt Hopard and drummer James Cucinotta worked with vocalist/guitarist Andrew Salter in a group known as Dramatic Structures. The band existed from 2004-late 2005, where the boys parted on good terms.
At this point, these close friends finally could work together on a band with a new, more instrumentally driven sound that drew from influences as diverse as metal, jazz, pop and post-rock. The band would describe they're writting aproach as more song driven then most other instrumental bands. Most songs are written as if there was a vocalist, with a voice all they're own.
The group has finally self-released they're self titled debut album available for only $5. It will see iTunes release by early the end of the years.
Collectively and individually the members of Paper Cities have played numerous venues including North Six, the Orange Bear, L'amour, Freddy's Backroom, Lit Lounge, Crash Mansion, CBGB's, the Knitting Factory, and Seton Hall.
Since completion of the album, paper cities have kept busy writting and playing out. There are currently 3 new songs in rotation that do not appear on the recording and more where that came from. They are also collaborating with good friend and aspiring film maker Alex Gavin for a project in the making for 2008.
