Paper
Live @ the Cakeshop, NYC, 03/04 - 03/06/2009

making their live debut in the US, Stockholm's Paper celebrated with a three-night stint, of which I caught two, at the most appropriate small venue in the city for their style -- the Cakeshop. Bringing unbound energy and punk fury, yet cool and sophisticated, Paper showed the audiences what has been missing from modern punk music, the attitude. They upped the tempo of tracks from their two albums (recorded simultaneously, with the second due for release later this year) with tracks like "Out of it into it", "my life is going under" and "She's got lard". On the third night, singer/keyboardist Calle Olsson complained of illness prior to the show, however showed no discomfort whatsoever when onstage -- the sign of the consummate performer. The crowd was definitely feeling the passion and applauded fervently, and with a great live debut such as these, I hope to see Paper back here very soon.
