NEWS: Charlottetown's Paper Lions Exceed 1 Million Views on Youtube Video for 'Travelling'...
Plans to Play NXNE and Release Acoustic EP for June 2012
Fan favourites Paper Lions have a lot to celebrate
this spring and summer! Their music video for "Travelling" just
surpassed the 1 million views mark, with numbers continuing to grow by
the thousands every day, and they are fresh off the heels of nominations
for "Song of the Year" and "Fan's Choice Entertainer of the Year" at
the 2012 East Coast Music Awards!
To further prove just how much love is in the air for Paper Lions these days, the band also reached their goal of $10,000 for recording via a crowdfunding website to help them record their forthcoming LP. Said LP is slated for a fall release and features the production work of Howard Redekopp. Redekopp's impressive portfolio includes producing releases from Tegan & Sarah, Said the Whale, Mother Mother, and more!
"We're getting views in
Kuwait, we're getting views in Darfour. We're getting views in Germany,
Australia, all over the place... When you start thinking about your
music touching that amount of people on a regular basis, it kind of
makes my jaw drop a little bit," says drummer David Cyrus MacDonald of
the viral status of the "Travelling" video in an interview with CBC.
