Don't take our word for it...
They're hands-down the best live act -- from Denver or from anywhere -- that I've seen in some time." -John Zwick, Yourhub.com.
"For their sound is the song of a million middle century charms playing as one grand symphony. Their sound is black and white twentieth century America at its best. It is the world smiling. It is the world singing." -Jonathon Bitz, Syntax Magazine.
"They make audiences feel love, excitement, and passion. A show not to be missed, a band that must be heard: Paper Bird is one of a kind." -tahoe.com
"With guitar, banjo, and trombone backing joyous harmonies, the folk orchestra cuts softly but surely through indie-rock coolness. Paper Bird's debut CD Anything Nameless and Joymaking, came out last year, and it deftly captures the warmth and wonder of the band's stage presence." -The Onion A.V. Club
"Paper Bird is at the very top of my list. I'm hopelessly smitten with the vocals of this trio of ladies (Esme and Genevieve Patterson and Sarah Anderson) and the pastoral backdrops created by their male counterparts (guitarist Paul DeHaven and Tyler Archuletta and Caleb Summeril, on trombone and banjo, respectively). Imagine a more beguiling Jolie Holland with the sublime, mellifluous, old-timey harmonies of the Chordettes. This is music to fall in love to - or with, as the case may be." -Dave Herrera, The Westword
"In the midst of mainstream bands hot off the production line, we find Paper Bird, a musical manifestation of the roots and philosophy that Coloradans share." -Josie Dembiczac, The Boulder Weekly

I have been trying to free up some time so that we can chat. This week has been crazy. I have been a little distracted by a misunderstanding with a tranny and a parking meter. Long story. Anyways, I hope to chat in depth soon. Enjoy your night
I want to clarify and say that if, in fact, you have a song, or want to write a song for the Sprockettes, Im sure we would dance to it! AND if Denver forms a Bike Dance Team, Im sure we would love to Dance with you all too!! Happy Equinox!
