Hey dudes! I would like to thank everyone who made it out to Rock GB in Kich to see us play our free show with the Summer Hour! We were so surprised that so many people made it out to support us only a few days after our show at Eggman. Thank you so much for those who were able to make it out to the second show- it really shows us that people actually enjoyed are music coming two days in a row almost.

You guys were awesome, we played a shorter set but it was great fun, and we even got to play an encore!

With these two shows we were able to sell lots of CDs, make lots of new friends, and make good connections with more people who work in different live houses and in it feels like a huge step for us boys in Papersky- so thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting us!

The Summer is winding down, and Papersky is back to writing more songs, and pubbing our CD- our run in Tokyo was short and sweet! Thank you so much!

love,
nachan

Thank you everyone who made it out to the show on friday! We had such a great crowd, there was a lot of usual papersky faces and lots of new ones so it was great.

We came out with our ghetto godzilla theme music but it was a great time, i felt like we played fairly well, of course there was the usual mishaps here and there, but as long as i dont say anything, i hope no one will notice!

anyway, it was a huge crowd, and both yesterday fall and summer hour played great sets, it was so much fun, im just sad its over already. we want thank all of you who came out to support us, i hope we made it worth while for you all!

if you enjoyed the show the other day, dont forget that we are playing on the 18th- Monday at kichijoji Rock GB, its a new rock club, next to Gap by Nathans hot Dogs, and under neath gyu kaku! Its a FREE show, you only have to buy a drink, its kind of a bar night, so you can just hang out and drink, then the summer hour and papersky will come on to play some songs, then we can all go hang out after! Please come hang, it will be much more intimate and relaxed!

Whats up dudes and dudets!

I am officially back from India, and I have to say it was an awesome experience, but I am very happy to be back in Japan, especially to be able to brush my teeth with tap water! It is awesome, there are so many things that I take for granted here, but I will try to appreciate it as best as possible now that I am back!

The first thing sandy and I ate when we got back was a nice obentou from originbentou- and it was awesome, a little bit of bliss in every bite! Great Great! I gotta hit up some ramen tomorrow.

Anyways- I think Brian is back in Japan now, so thus there are 3 out of 4 papersky members in TKY, so we are going to try to get back to work ASAP! I am excited to show the other dudes what I have been working on and I am excited to hear the stuff they have been working on as well.

Ok- get ready for our show on aug 15th! Our CD will be there, and so will Yesterday Fall's( i think it will be crazy bad ass)

love,

Big news for all of our friends in Japan!!! We are playing a CD release party on August 15th @ Shibuya Eggman with our good friends Yesterday Fall and The Summer Hour! Please spread the word!

We are really pumped about this show because we can finally sell physical CDs to our buddies who want to pick one up, and we can play the songs off that CD- so make sure you give the CD a listen if you can! (Digital copies are being sold on itunes now! or steal it from someone if you can, listen to it, and if you really like it buy a copy! or just rock out at the show!)

Also both Yesterday Fall and The Summer Hour are great bands and great friends of ours, so we can not only guarantee a night of bad ass rock and roll, but warm fuzzy feelings because its a big family of friends!

I believe that Yesterday Fall may also be selling their EP at the show as well so keep your eyes an ears open for that!

So many exclamation points!!! Im so excited!!!!!

Otherwise, I am still in India- but I finished my time volunteering with the children and will be leaving them tomorrow, I am extremeley sad the kids are so damn cute.

Ill be traveing for another week with my lovely girlfriend and will be back in Japan soon! I cant wait to start practicing for the show and eating Japanese food!

Spread the word about the show and keep your eyes open for a Facebook event and notices about a bad ass after party as well!

Hey everybody! whats going on? im sorry no one has updated the website in a while, i was hoping one of the other dudes would have since im in india, and never have website access, but i guess they are lazy- hahah

india- is an amazing country- ive seen so many interseting things in the past week and i see new things everyday, it is really nice to get away frome everything and spend time in a totally new environment.

im in northern india, in the mountains, and it is beautiful.

ive been volunteering with my lovely girlfriend, sanchan-- teaching english to little kids in this tiny town. the preschool is tiny, one room with no electricity, and there is a little deck out front about the size of my bedroom, and its been great! i brought my guitar and sing itsy bitsy spider and all kinds of other songs, they love the guitar, and i am happy to say that although they do not speak english, music does not need to be translated.

otherwise, ive been hiking, writing songs, getting to know other volunteers, and spending time much needed time with my girlfriend.

i hope everyone is enjoying their summers! i am off to an amazing one, india is blowing my mind, and the children are fu*in cute!

i miss you all

i want to eat ramen, shabu shabu, or sushi real bad- but indian food is bad ass

i have not had solid poo in a long time.

india is almost the exact opposite compared to japan in every single way.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Sorry it has taken us a while to update you guys. Things have been fairly quiet in the world of Papersky as I explained last time. But I have personally have been having a great time the past couple weeks.

Ive been hanging out with lots of old friends, eating good food in Tokyo, sleeping a lot, spending time with family, and writing songs! It has been the dream for the past couple weeks!

Some new songs ideas have come to me the past couple weeks which I'm really pumped about. I tracked some rough guitar tracks, and KeyJ and I went to the park and tracked some vocals, it was a good time. Kids screaming in the park in the middle of the night!

I also got to see a couple buddy bands play at Edge, our old home base during Samurai River, and these bands were awesome, The Summer Hour and Yesterday Fall were bad ass- you guys should check them out! Yesterday Fall did a bad ass cover of Only Forward, and invited me to jump on stage to sing with them, which was BA!

Anyways, please keep spreading the word about in Transit! I will be gone from Japan, to go on that service project to India this weekend! I am really excited for that, I will try to update you guys about my adventures over there when I get access to internet!

Love you all! I can't wait for the new Finch EP to come out!

-nachan

Hey dudes, things have been coasting in the world of Papersky these days, we are all doing our own things cause we are not in the same countries at the moment. But it would be great if you guys could keep spreading the word about our new CD on i tunes! Thank you!

Kenta told me the other day he got a cool job doing live sound at bar and grill place, he said he gets 50% off food, I hope he is still doing it when I get back to B town so I can mooch off him. Brian is going to be teaching kids website stuff at camp at MIT. KeyJ, is gonna be back in Japan soon hanging out with me, and working at a summer school program, and I'm gonna be heading out to India on a service project in a couple weeks.

Everyones doing cool stuff on their own, right now- I hope you guys are all enjoying your summers too! Summer is the time to enjoy life and try some new things and relax!

Its rainin outside here back in Japan. But it is nice to be back. I was able to sell some more hard copies of our CD to some close friends which is awesome.

We would like to thank everyone who has bought our CD! Thanks to everyone who wrote nice constructive comments about our CD! Please keep spreading the word about In Transit!

Last night I went to see a couple buddy bands, Yesterday Fall and Summer Hour. They were great- you guys should check them out on myspace- both great bands that we really respect!

So Papersky had an intense week of recording new music, but now that I am gone, and KeyJ will be back in Japan in a week or so, it seems like Papersky will be low on activity for a couple months, but we will Keep Rocking the Chizain! we are all writing new music and trying to pub the CD, so we will have lots of fun videos and stuff up for you guys to check out!

I think Brian is making some more fun updates on our website too!

Thanks for all the support as always, we really appreciate it!

-nachan

We have all waited for this moment for too long. Over 2 years ago, we wrote "Framed and Force-fed", our first song as Papersky. The recording process began in May 2007 at WERS 88.9 FM Boston, where our bassist works as a recording engineer. After several months of recording, mixing, mastering, production, and numerous delays, our CDs have arrived. Now, finally, "In Transit" is available on the iTunes Store for everyone around the world to listen to.

We always appreciate everyone that listens to our music or supports us in any way. We are also putting together some shows and will be selling physical copies of our CDs at those venues. In the meantime, please check out our album on iTunes - it really means a lot to us!

Peace

Hey guys whats going on! Last weekend we had a really good session at the radio station, Brian and Kenta recorded three songs of Drums and Bass and they did a bad ass job. We got a lot of good tones and takes with a lot of energy, so we are all pretty happy with that. This weekend, I'm going in with KeyJ to record the other shtuufff so it should be good. We are already working on our next CD although our first one hasnt been uploaded to i tunes yet, but dont worry, it will be there soon!Hopefully in the next couple weeks.

Papersky, has been working really hard, so we decided to try to take advantage of no school and do something fun. So we decided to hit the casino!! We are driving down the Connecticut tomorrow and we are staying for a night. Hopefully we will get lucky and make some money since we are so poor these days haha. Cheer us on! We will take lots of vids to let you know if any of us made it big!

Alright take care guys,

Hey guys, sorry its been so long since the last update, lots of stuff have been going down in the world of Papersky. The CDs are finally here! YAY! We had our CD release party the other day at my house- and it was a good time, we played some good old 90s covers, like backstreet, and it was bad ass. All the members have CDs- so if you want a hard copy and are near any of us, please let us know!

The CD will also be up on i-tunes very soon, in the next couple of weeks hopefully!

More exciting news is that we started recording our next CD! we went in this weekend, and recorded Drum and Bass for three songs, and will be trying to finish them off by the end of the month before summer vacation!

Yayyy--- woop woop, party time in the house.

We are also planning on having a show in TOKYO this summer, more news on that later- we are in the process of putting together a bad ass show- and a place where we can get hard copies of the CDs out to all our friends in Japan!!

Yoroshiku!

All the music and artwork is done and we have sent it out to get pressed. I know we've said this is done this is done forever now, but we are officially done. In about 2weeks, we will have huge boxes full of our first ablum, In Transit.

While this CD did take forever, over a year since we began preproduction, it has been a tough but fun ride. I want everyone to know that while this is our first CD we are releasing to the world, it is also our first attempt to try to make something that can stand on its own in the industry. All of us are very happy with the outcome of the CD, and its hard to believe that we have done all of it on our own. It was just like learning a new instrument all over again. The four of us together learned an instrument called record making, and have learned so much. This has been a huge step for us as a band, and we feel confident about going on with what we have been doing and continue making good music, making CD's and playing sweet shows.

For all of you who have been waiting for this CD to come out, thank you so much for waiting. Now, its time for us to pass the CD over to you guys, and let you guys do the work. Listen to it a bunch of times, learn the lyrics, rock out, and come to our shows and we will rock out together. Like Nate has said, this is the biggest project I have ever been apart of, and have spent more money and time into this than I ever thought I had, and it is also the proudest I have ever been about any work I have done. I know theres still some time for the CD to come out, but when it does check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks,

-Kenta

Hey dudes- some exciting in the world of Papersky. We got back our CD after being mastered, and it sounds awesome! We just have some last minute changes that need to be taken care of and we will send it off to be pressed- and it should be available on i-tunes very soon. Keep a look out to pick up "In Transit" its awesome!!!

Otherwise- we have officially gotten studio time at WERS to record our first batch of songs for our Second CD before we all disperse for the summer! I know its crazy that we already are recording new songs for the second CD before the first one has even come out- but thats how long and crazy this process has been, we have been writing songs and they are awesome- we will be recording 3 songs in May.

Otherwise- school is winding down and shit is getting busy- so we have to stay on top of our academic game even though its hard at times with all this music around us.

Whats cooking guys. Brian has been reformatting the website, just to make the best one for when our cd comes out, its looking pretty bad ass!

We passed through the second round of Emergenza, so thanks to all our friends who made it out, it was a grea time. Our CD, is still being mastered- and we are patiently to get the songs back, then we will send them off to get printed!

Exciting news is that we have begun to write some new songs, we are experimenting with new elements, and we have one song that is almost done already! Keep checking our vlogs, and vids- we should be announcing a CD release date very soon!

love
-nachan

whats cooking yo- i hope you guys are enjoying all the new videos and website stuff we have been doing. As we said earlier we finished mixing the CD, and we have sent it off to the mastering engineer! We decided to go with a friend of ours who also works at WERS, he is into mastering and is going to hook us for a good price, so hopefully it will be done by next week, and we can send off for it!

We should have a CD release party date soon, and will also have the CD available for purchase soon!

In other parts of Papersky- we began writing new songs, which has been tight, we have a lot of new ideas- and trying to push ourselves personally as well as a band as a whole on the new CD, but we also dont want to stray too far from what we have been doing, it should be a fun CD to work on. Our first CD isnt even out yet, but we are pumped to write the next!

Its a never ending cycle, but we cant get away from what we love!

we are playing the second round of Emergenza this tuesday! wish us luck!

-nachan

Whats cracking in the microwave everyone!

Big news for everyone! We have Officially finished mixing the CD! It's been a long road, but the songs sound bad ass, and im proud to say that we were able to record and mix our own first CD!

Last night we went into the studio at midnight for our final mix down to tie up loose ends throw some finishing touches on everything. We finished at 10 30 am!

Now we need to decide who we are gonna get our CD mastered by, hopefully we can have everything finalized and the CD in our hands in a few weeks. Although we are still a little ways away from the CD being done and pressed- it feels great to have our end of the CD done! I have to say its one the biggest projects of my life, and im excited that we get to finally share it everyone!

Thats thats the update for now- we will have many more stupid videos that makes it look like we dont do anything besides mess around all the time coming soon!

-nachan

Hey guys, like Nate said in the last post, we are REALLY almost done with our CD. We went in to the radio station this last weekend, and checked out our mixes. They are sounding great, and a few of our songs are completely done. I will be going back in to the studio in a bit to mix the rest of the songs, and all of the mixing will be done by this Saturday. We will then pass it along to our mastering engineer then pressed. We will be releasing our album on iTunes as well, for those of you who live far away.

I know we have been saying the CD will be done soon all the time, but this time we are really really right there. Until the release of our CD we will be posting a lot of videos and blogs and such, so come check out what were up to, and you might hear some stuff from the album in the videos as well.

Its been a long road, starting in May of last year, almost a year has gone by and even more time has passed since we wrote the songs that are on the album. It took us a long time, but we have learned so much about making a record, and we have all grown as musicians. If our next record takes this long (which it hopefully wont) I will still be happy since we will be learning even more about all the different parts that go into a record.

As we wrap this album up, we are already writing a bunch of new songs and they are sounding really sweet. I cant wait to see where these new batch of songs are headed, but I can already see that we are all pushing our limits in our music and exploring many new grounds.

Thats about all I have to say for now, but for now just keep checking back for new posts and information about our album. Hopefully we will have a release date set pretty soon.

Thanks for checking in, and don't worry, we will play some shows when the CD is actually out. See you in the crowd!

-Kenta

Whats going on everyone! It is a very exciting time for Papersky. As you can see our drummer Brio has hooked the band up with this new bad ass website- which we will do a much better job of updating frequently!

Our CD is almost done. We are going in for our final mix this Sat, then we are sending it off to mastering, and then pressing! Hopefully it will be done by mid march!

We are also playing our second show in the world wide battle of the band, Emergenza contest on March 4th middle east downstairs! Please come support!

Check out our myspace as well, we have some new videos up to show us messing around and working hard!

Yeyea!
