Details:
Paper Lions (formerly Chucky Danger) is composed of ten time East Coast Music award nominated artists John MacPhee, Rob MacPhee, Colin Buchanan, and David Cyrus MacDonald. They have performed for tens of thousands of people, earning critical acclaim and regional and national awards including Touring Artist of the Year from the Canadian Arts Presenters Organization (2007) and Pop Recording of the Year from the East Coast Music Awards (2005).

Paper Lions self titled 2007 album was produced by Danny Blume of grammy award winning team Good and Evil. The eleven song record spans eras of influence, shamelessly evoking the work of the bands musical mentors; The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Police, Queen, Michael Jackson, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens. It crosses genre lines as though they don''t exist, with tracks incorporating classic rock, pop, folk, blues, and barber shop.

Paper Lions performed over 250 shows in 2007 alone. Their live show has been compared to .......the Police on speed..... A turn at The Warped Tour in the summer of 2007 spawned this review from Vancouvers premiere arts magazine, the Georgia Strait;

"... the lucky few that wandered over to the unenviable Hot Topic stage, at the other end of the T-Bird field, were treated to a performance by Prince Edward Island''s Chucky Danger (now Paper Lions) a dapper suit-sporting quartet playing its first Warped gig. Sounding like Franz Ferdinand and moving like the Talking Heads, this group put on a real show, complete with fantastic tunes and stage presence, and enough charisma to draw more than 300 fans by the end of its too-short time on stage... you couldn''t help but feel that their kind of magic was the true reason to go to Warped - the off chance that you might discover something great."

PRESS QUOTES

"What a find! Chucky Danger''s (now Paper Lions) sound is squarely in the center of today''s pop/rock music scene. They take a backseat to no one." - Glenn Meisner, CBC Atlantic Airwaves

“Pop/rock band a hit at 31st Summerfolk festival…had a dedicated following after only two performances.” - The Sun-Times

"...the lucky few that wandered over to the unenviable Hot Topic stage, at the other end of the T-Bird field, were treated to a performance by Prince Edward Island''s [Paper Lions] a ... quartet playing its first Warped gig. Sounding like Franz Ferdinand and moving like the Talking Heads, this group put on a real show, complete with fantastic tunes and stage presence, and enough charisma to draw more than 300 fans by the end of its too-short time on-stage. Watching the act''s members grin like unabashed idiots, you couldn''t help but feel that their kind of magic was the true reason to go to Warped–the off chance that you might discover something great." - Elaine Corden, The Georgia Strait (Vancouver Warped Tour, 2007)

"… the show they''ve perfected…is in all essence, quite jaw dropping in its skill, variety and seamless orchestration." - Todd MacLean, The Guardian

"Talent, personality, originality, and timing. [Paper Lions] have the vocal harmonies and garage rock guitar riffs that will take the music industry by storm." - Andreanne Sasseville, Talent Development/Programming Coordination, Sirius Canada

"What a show…The music was great but the entertainment value was down-right priceless…(with) a crowd eating out of their hands…their act draws and locks eyes to the stage." - Kent Aiken, The Xaverian Weekly, St. Francis Xavier University

"Stellar band you''ve never heard of -- [Paper Lions] from P.E.I., whose gig demonstrated phenomenal musicianship, showmanship and energy. Think The Police (classic era) on speed." - Heath McCoy, The Calgary Herald (Calgary Warped Tour, 2007)

“When these guys showed up onstage all wearing ties, I should have known they meant business. Paper Lions are cracking musicians, marrying catchy, shout-along pop with madcap showmanship. These guys have been nominated for multiple ECMAs; it''s only a matter of time before the rest of the country starts to notice.”
- Chart Attack- CMW 2008 Review

- Andréanne Sasseville, Talent Development/Programming Coordination, Sirius Satellite Radio

“My new favorite Canadian Band…put on the most entertaining show I’ve seen in a long time.” - Abby White, Performing Songwriter, Nashville

“They’ve successfully fashioned a funky, effervescent blend of olk/rock/pop/roots….although they shimmer with the innocence of the past, there is a definite edge to their music that speaks of the 21st century.”
- St Albert’s Gazette (live review)

“They played some of the most delightful hook laden melodies of the entire weekend.” (Stanfest)
- The Evening News, New Glasgow
